In my experience charters are unfortunately far worse when it comes to parents running the show.

At my first school I taught at, we had an eighth grade student who put hand sanitizer into a teacher’s coffee and when he got caught (who knows how long he’d been doing it), we finally had him dead to rights after other students reported harassment, bullying, vandalism, etc.

It was explained to us by admin that his parents donated 15K a year and we just needed to “survive the semester” as his third grade brother would still be in the school for five more years (and the other student would be graduated). Talking to other teachers, this was pretty par for the course for charters/private schools in the area.

So yeah, that’s neat.
