By definition, charter schools are supposed to provide an alternative for families seeking a bit more for their young scholars, so it is no surprise that New Jersey's two largest cities have the greatest concentration of charter schools. Yet if creators of charter schools draw from the same pool of (human, fiscal and pedagogical) resources as our public schools, where is the benefit?
If we are going to raise the bar for Jersey City's students, we will have to employ completely different measures that place power in the hands of teachers as professionals and parents as guardians.
