Teachers don't have lesson plans? What the fuck kinda shit is that?

If I go to work and say I work but have no work product then I don't get paid.

I was immediatly compelled to write response before watching the entire video, so forgive me if I repeat something that was already explained. That school is notorious in many many ways. The highschool was constructed and designed by a contracting company that builds prisons. The state of California contracted the company to design the school as a means of controlling the population. It comes complete with a fenced court yard, floor layouts that are intentionally designed to disorient students, barred windows. Everyone who goes to that school, teachers included, have the understanding that their society has given up on them. Even before they have ever opened a book. It dosen't matter how many A's you get. It dosen't matter how successfull you are as a teacher, because the state has already turned their backs, marginalized, ostracised, discredited an entire population of people. California has made similar schools all over poor neighborhoods.

Pure awesomeness. Go Locke! If it works, I hope this turns into a nationwide revolution.

Weird that Al Gore is pimping this awful charter shit. It is wingnuts with a money grab at tax dollars.

What is going on is that contracts are up to manage and run some multimillion dollar LA schools and Green Dot and others are trying to get access to the easy money.


You should google a little.... and now.. the rest of the story... on Locke High...

Green Dot has been described as challenged and trouble operating the school.

It requires a second or even a third look at Locke High School to discern the changes this fall, one year after it was taken over by charter operator Green Dot Public Schools.

...

The charter operator takes 6% of the student funding for central office expenses.

...

And because Locke's truancy rates are about 10 percentage points lower than they were under L.A. Unified, the school gets more per-pupil funding, which is tied to average daily attendance. The school's history is one in which the population of each class fell off sharply each year because of dropouts and community transiency, but already Green Dot is retaining more students.
