But the players at the center of it all, banging it out on the court, don't get a dime of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>College athletes are considered \"amateurs\" by the NCAA. That means they're prohibited from collecting any kind of monetary compensation (including sponsorship money), even though the tournament they play in has become big business, generating multi-million dollar profits for the NCAA and many of the coaches and schools involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As profits grow each year, a growing contingent of former players and advocates are calling on the NCAA to start allowing student athletes earn their fair share. The league, they say, is exploiting students by profiting from their skill and celebrity status without providing appropriate compensation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, many big-name schools provide few guarantees for student athletes, many of whom practice upwards of 60 hours a week and risk losing scholarships if they get injured and can't play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/01/27/college-athletes-greatly-overestimate-their-chances-playing-professionally\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A 2015 survey\u003c/a> found that just over 1 percent of all men's college basketball players actually get drafted by the NBA, even though about three-quarters of Division I players said they believed playing professionally was at least “somewhat likely.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the NCAA remains adamant in its stance against student athletes receiving direct financial compensation, insisting that paying players would corrupt the very spirit and nature of intercollegiate sports. The organization emphasizes that the robust scholarships most top student athletes receive, that typically cover tuition and some living expenses, provide access to a top-notch education at some of the best schools in the country, not to mention the opportunity to play on nationally-recognized teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, the NCAA notes that profits from men's basketball and football -- the big intercollegiate revenue generators -- help fund less lucrative sports (because someone's gotta pay for the squash team, right?).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation, however, almost changed dramatically in 2014, when a \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/08/11/federal-judge-ncaa-violates-antitrust-law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal judge \u003c/a>ruled that the NCAA’s policy of barring payment to college athletes violated antitrust laws. Former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon, now a car salesman in Las Vegas, was the lead plaintiff in the class-action lawsuit.

Roughly seven in 10 seniors (69 percent) graduating from public and nonprofit private colleges in 2014 had student loan debt, with an average of $28,950 per borrower, according to the nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"http://ticas.org/posd/map-state-data-2015#\" target=\"_blank\">Institute for College Access and Success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This conundrum is particularly evident in California, which has some of the highest living costs in the nation and an economy in which \u003ca href=\"http://www.fppic.org/main/publication_quick.asp?i=1112\" target=\"_blank\">high-skilled, educated workers\u003c/a> are increasingly in demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As recently as three decades ago, California’s public university system -- both University of California and California State University campuses -- was a national model of extremely low-cost, high-quality education. In 1980, yearly tuition for California residents at UCs was about $2,680 (in 2016 dollars), and roughly $500 at CSUs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That all changed amid California's severe recession and budget crisis in the early 1990s, when the state began to drastically tighten its higher education budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuition and fees more than doubled from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Although costs then stabilized through the early 2000s, they then resumed their \"dramatic and relentless upward climb,\" according to the \u003ca href=\"http://calbudgetcenter.org/resources/state-spending-per-student-at-csu-and-uc-remains-near-the-lowest-point-in-more-than-30-years/\" target=\"_blank\">California Budget and Policy Center\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, UC tuition is about $12,300 annually, an increase of more than 350 percent since 1980, with graduating seniors who took out loans carrying an average debt of about $20,000 (about $16,000 for \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstate.edu/value/systemwide/\" target=\"_blank\">CSU graduates\u003c/a>).

While the bill used to be primarily footed by the state (through taxpayers), now students and families are paying over half the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, the burden of rising costs has fallen hardest on higher-income students.

Roughly seven in 10 seniors (69 percent) graduating from public and nonprofit private colleges in 2014 had student loan debt, with an average of $28,950 per borrower, according to the nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"http://ticas.org/posd/map-state-data-2015#\" target=\"_blank\">Institute for College Access and Success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This conundrum is particularly evident in California, which has some of the highest living costs in the nation and an economy in which \u003ca href=\"http://www.fppic.org/main/publication_quick.asp?i=1112\" target=\"_blank\">high-skilled, educated workers\u003c/a> are increasingly in demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As recently as three decades ago, California’s public university system -- both University of California and California State University campuses -- was a national model of extremely low-cost, high-quality education.

Some were already studying for their final exams. It marks the biggest shutdown in the history of higher education in the United States, and should serve as a cautionary tale for prospective students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although some insiders and education officials saw the writing on the wall for the huge Santa Ana, California-based for-profit education company, recruiters continued to woo new enrollees. Most students were left in the dark until the last minute, and many now find themselves burdened with unfinished degrees, courses that may not transfer and huge piles of debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After filing for bankruptcy, Corinthian quickly shut down its remaining school campuses including all Heald, Everest, and WyoTech colleges. Most were in California, the majority clustered in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and the Central Valley. Heald College, headquartered in San Francisco, is the nation's oldest group of business career campuses.

The company has been in hot water for at least a year, since the Dept. of Education in June 2014 restricted access to federal student aid, which made up about 85 percent of the company's revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before that, though, Corinthian was on the road to ruin. Until recently, the company had a massive network of 100 campuses across the country but was forced to close or sell most of its locations as fines and legal actions mounted against it. These included lawsuits brought by the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and attorneys general in California, Massachusetts and Wisconsin, alleging that the company's schools preyed on low-income students with high-interest loans and fraudulent recruiting practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many for-profit colleges are known for using aggressive recruiting practices to attract non-traditional students, a large number of whom are older and come from low-income backgrounds. A sizable portion are also veterans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.help.senate.gov/imo/media/for_profit_report/PartI-PartIII-SelectedAppendixes.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">2012 investigation\u003c/a> commissioned by Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin revealed just how much money flowed through the coffers of 30 major for-profit schools, and the questionable practices recruiters use to attract students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Publicly traded companies like the \u003ca href=\"http://www.apollo.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">Apollo Education Group\u003c/a>, which owns University of Phoenix, the largest for-profit university system in the U.S., answer to shareholders, while others are owned by private equity firms and closely held corporations. Most of their profits come directly from taxpayer dollars in the form of federal grants and student loans. Among the 30 companies probed in the two-year Senate committee investigation, 86 percent of total revenues came from federal dollars. In 2009-10, that amounted to roughly $32 billion in taxpayer funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>The dirt\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The Senate investigation revealed that several companies, including Kaplan and Concorde, have a history of finding recruits at social service agencies. A separate 2010 investigation by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-10-948T\" target=\"_blank\">Government Accounting Office\u003c/a> investigated 15 for-profit schools using undercover agents disguised as prospective students. At four of the schools, the GAO applicants were told to falsify their financial information to qualify for student aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Harkin's Senate report dug up company training manuals and memos from several for-profits education companies, detailing the \"boiler room sales atmosphere.\" Recruiters had quotas, incentives, and faced punitive measures in the race to bring in more students. It was common practice, the report found, for recruiters to mislead students about jobs and salaries and deflect financial questions or downplay student debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>The for-profit college boom\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Although for-profit college enrollment rates have plummeted in recent years, the sector grew dramatically in the late 1990s and early 2000, with skyrocketing revenue and enrollment rates. Many schools that had primarily offered short-term, vocational certificate programs moved aggressively towards providing associate and bachelor degree programs. Enrollment further increased as a growing number of schools began to offer online programs. At least six for-profit schools now operate exclusively online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 1998 and 2008, enrollment in for-profit colleges increased by 225 percent, as compared to 31 percent growth in higher education overall, according to the Senate report. By 2010, approximately 2.4 million students -- between 10 and 13 percent of all U.S. college students -- attended a for-profit school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 2011, for-profit colleges accounted for only 13 percent of federal student aid borrowers, but nearly half of all defaults, the report found. Nearly 600,000 students that enrolled in 2008-09 had withdrawn by 2010. Corinthian had a 66 percent rate of withdraw among students receiving associates degrees, yet still managed to earn a 14 percent profit margin in 2010. Bridgepoint Education topped the list: 84 percent of associate degree students withdrew that year; the company garnered a 30% profit margin.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What's next?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Thousands of former Corinthian students, meanwhile, are planning to take legal action against the for-profit company, claiming they were duped into accumulating large amounts of debt.

Most of their profits come directly from taxpayer dollars in the form of federal grants and student loans. Among the 30 companies probed in the two-year Senate committee investigation, 86 percent of total revenues came from federal dollars.

Enrollment further increased as a growing number of schools began to offer online programs. At least six for-profit schools now operate exclusively online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 1998 and 2008, enrollment in for-profit colleges increased by 225 percent, as compared to 31 percent growth in higher education overall, according to the Senate report.

Nearly 600,000 students that enrolled in 2008-09 had withdrawn by 2010. Corinthian had a 66 percent rate of withdraw among students receiving associates degrees, yet still managed to earn a 14 percent profit margin in 2010. Bridgepoint Education topped the list: 84 percent of associate degree students withdrew that year; the company garnered a 30% profit margin.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What's next?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Thousands of former Corinthian students, meanwhile, are planning to take legal action against the for-profit company, claiming they were duped into accumulating large amounts of debt.

Even as school districts reel from punishing budget cuts and school shutdowns, new charters are sprouting in every corner of the state: just this year, a hundred schools opened for business. There are now 982 of them in California, the most in the country by far, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.calcharters.org/\">California Charter Schools Association\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 412,000 students, or 7 percent of California's k-12 student population, are now enrolled in charters, which is pretty significant considering that 20 years ago, charter enrollment in the state was zilch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The basic gist\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCharters are publicly funded, tuition-free k-12 schools that operate under specific performance agreements (“charters”) approved by a local school district, county office of education, or the State Board of Education. For California's charters, the former is usually the governing agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What makes them different from conventional public schools?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>For the most part, charters operate independently from school districts and have more control over academic achievement and school management than do district-run schools. Although they get similar levels of per-student public funding and are considered a part of the public school system, California's charters have specific goals and operating procedures – laid out in their original proposals – and are exempt from many of the rules and regulations that apply to conventional schools. They also aren't required to have a board or governing body and the majority of charter teachers don't belong to a union (although they can collectively vote to join one). And unlike conventional public schools, which generally serve students who live in specific geographic areas, most charters are known as \"schools of choice,\" meaning that anyone can attend, regardless of home address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When did they start ... and why?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIn 1992 the state legislature passed the \u003ca href=\"http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/provgovpart/Documents/sb_1448_bill_chaptered.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Charter Schools Act (SB 1448)\u003c/a>, making California the second state in the nation (after Minnesota) to allow public charters. The law's stated intent was to “provide opportunities for teachers, parents, pupils, and community members to establish and maintain schools that operate independently from the existing school district structure.” The initial legislation limited the total number of charters in the state to 100, and no more than 10 per school district. Funding would “follow the student” after leaving a traditional public school. Since then, their numbers have skyrocketed. They're often started up in traditionally low-income school districts, as a smaller, locally-controlled alternative to large under-performing neighborhood schools. Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area have the largest concentrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation was a response to two issues: most immediately, it was intended to quell an effort to institute a statewide educational voucher program, in which students would be able to receive public funds to attend private schools (a subsequent 1993 ballot initiative was voted down). But foremost, it was - and continues to be - a response to California's increasingly underfunded and under performing public school system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As recently as the mid-1970's California's public school system was regarded as among the best in the nation.

The chart on the left tells the story pretty clearly. Notice the steep drop off in funding from the mid-70's to the 80's? It's not a coincidence that the quality of schools followed a similar downward path. And as they increasingly failed to provide decent educational opportunities to students, the hunger for alternatives grew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What requirements do charters have to follow?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThey have a bunch of the same state and federal requirements as do traditional schools. Students, for instance, have to take \u003ca href=\"http://star.cde.ca.gov/\">the statewide standards tests (STAR)\u003c/a> and the schools are ranked according to their \u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ap/\">Academic Performance Index (API)\u003c/a>. Under the federal \u003ca href=\"http://www.ed.gov/esea\">No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)\u003c/a>, they also need to meet yearly academic performance benchmarks. High school charter students also have to pass the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to graduate. And similar to traditional California public schools, charters are required be non-partisan in all aspects of their operations, including academic programming, admissions, and employment. They can't charge tuition or discriminate against any student on the basis of gender, ethnicity, country of origin, or disability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you start one?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nStep 1: Anyone (a parent, teacher, student, educational organization, etc.) can create and circulate a charter petition - either to start a brand new charter school, or to convert a traditional school. As outlined in \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/calawquery?codesection=edc&codebody=&hits=20\">California’s Education Code\u003c/a>\u003cem>, \u003c/em>the petition has to have 16 specific elements that include a description of the school’s structure and student performance expectations, as well as an outline of the operational and management procedures.\u003cbr>\nStep 2: The petition needs to be signed by either\u003cbr>\na) The parents of at least half the students expected to enroll in a school during its first year\u003cbr>\nor\u003cbr>\nb) At least half the teachers expected to work at the new school. For preexisting schools converting to charters, petitions need to be signed by at least half of the permanent-status teachers at the existing school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"http://www.edsource.org/iss_charter.html\">EdSource\u003c/a>, a non-partisan education policy group, school boards are expected to approve a charter unless it can be clearly demonstrated that the plan is educationally unsound, its implementation is unlikely, or specific core requirements have not been fulfilled. If a local district does deny a charter, petitioners can appeal first to the county board of education, and finally to the State Board of Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter schools are approved for up to five years with subsequent five-year renewal periods. A charter can be revoked by the chartering authority if the school:\u003cbr>\na) fails to meet or pursue the originally stated student outcomes\u003cbr>\nb) shows evidence of fiscal mismanagement\u003cbr>\nc) violates the law\u003cbr>\nBut unless the infringement is considered to be a major threat to the health or safety of students, charter operators are often given the chance to remedy the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Academically, how do charter schools compare?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe overall student academic performance in California's charter schools is actually pretty similar to traditional public schools. According to a 2011 report by the \u003ca href=\"http://school-performance.usc.edu/pdf/usc_charter_perf_dash_2011_final1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">University of Southern California\u003c/a>, a slightly higher proportion of charters are performing at the highest category of the API (which measures a school’s average student performance on statewide tests). But, higher proportions of charters are also performing at the bottom two API categories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Arguments for and against them\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe proponents:\u003cbr>\na) A lot of traditional public schools fail to provide students with adequate educational opportunities, especially in low-income areas.\u003cbr>\nb) Large school districts get too mired in bureaucracy and too inefficient to run schools successfully and adequately respond to a community's needs.\u003cbr>\nc) Charter schools have greater academic and financial autonomy and more direct community accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The critics:\u003cbr>\na) Charter schools divert desperately needed financial and teaching resources from existing struggling schools.\u003cbr>\nb) They serve only a small fraction of California’s students, and have not proven to be academically superior.\u003cbr>\nC) They often lack proper accountability, both in terms of student achievement, teacher performance, and teacher rights. This argument is in part a response to accusations that certain charter schools stifle union activity among teachers as well as ingenuously boost their own academic profiles by recruiting the best students and kicking out the worst.

Even as school districts reel from punishing budget cuts and school shutdowns, new charters are sprouting in every corner of the state: just this year, a hundred schools opened for business. There are now 982 of them in California, the most in the country by far, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.calcharters.org/\">California Charter Schools Association\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 412,000 students, or 7 percent of California's k-12 student population, are now enrolled in charters, which is pretty significant considering that 20 years ago, charter enrollment in the state was zilch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The basic gist\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCharters are publicly funded, tuition-free k-12 schools that operate under specific performance agreements (“charters”) approved by a local school district, county office of education, or the State Board of Education. For California's charters, the former is usually the governing agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What makes them different from conventional public schools?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>For the most part, charters operate independently from school districts and have more control over academic achievement and school management than do district-run schools. Although they get similar levels of per-student public funding and are considered a part of the public school system, California's charters have specific goals and operating procedures – laid out in their original proposals – and are exempt from many of the rules and regulations that apply to conventional schools. They also aren't required to have a board or governing body and the majority of charter teachers don't belong to a union (although they can collectively vote to join one). And unlike conventional public schools, which generally serve students who live in specific geographic areas, most charters are known as \"schools of choice,\" meaning that anyone can attend, regardless of home address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When did they start ... and why?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIn 1992 the state legislature passed the \u003ca href=\"http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/provgovpart/Documents/sb_1448_bill_chaptered.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Charter Schools Act (SB 1448)\u003c/a>, making California the second state in the nation (after Minnesota) to allow public charters. The law's stated intent was to “provide opportunities for teachers, parents, pupils, and community members to establish and maintain schools that operate independently from the existing school district structure.” The initial legislation limited the total number of charters in the state to 100, and no more than 10 per school district. Funding would “follow the student” after leaving a traditional public school. Since then, their numbers have skyrocketed. They're often started up in traditionally low-income school districts, as a smaller, locally-controlled alternative to large under-performing neighborhood schools. Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area have the largest concentrations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation was a response to two issues: most immediately, it was intended to quell an effort to institute a statewide educational voucher program, in which students would be able to receive public funds to attend private schools (a subsequent 1993 ballot initiative was voted down). But foremost, it was - and continues to be - a response to California's increasingly underfunded and under performing public school system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As recently as the mid-1970's California's public school system was regarded as among the best in the nation.

The chart on the left tells the story pretty clearly. Notice the steep drop off in funding from the mid-70's to the 80's? It's not a coincidence that the quality of schools followed a similar downward path. And as they increasingly failed to provide decent educational opportunities to students, the hunger for alternatives grew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What requirements do charters have to follow?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThey have a bunch of the same state and federal requirements as do traditional schools. Students, for instance, have to take \u003ca href=\"http://star.cde.ca.gov/\">the statewide standards tests (STAR)\u003c/a> and the schools are ranked according to their \u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ap/\">Academic Performance Index (API)\u003c/a>. Under the federal \u003ca href=\"http://www.ed.gov/esea\">No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)\u003c/a>, they also need to meet yearly academic performance benchmarks. High school charter students also have to pass the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to graduate. And similar to traditional California public schools, charters are required be non-partisan in all aspects of their operations, including academic programming, admissions, and employment. They can't charge tuition or discriminate against any student on the basis of gender, ethnicity, country of origin, or disability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do you start one?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nStep 1: Anyone (a parent, teacher, student, educational organization, etc.) can create and circulate a charter petition - either to start a brand new charter school, or to convert a traditional school. As outlined in \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/calawquery?codesection=edc&codebody=&hits=20\">California’s Education Code\u003c/a>\u003cem>, \u003c/em>the petition has to have 16 specific elements that include a description of the school’s structure and student performance expectations, as well as an outline of the operational and management procedures.\u003cbr>\nStep 2: The petition needs to be signed by either\u003cbr>\na) The parents of at least half the students expected to enroll in a school during its first year\u003cbr>\nor\u003cbr>\nb) At least half the teachers expected to work at the new school. For preexisting schools converting to charters, petitions need to be signed by at least half of the permanent-status teachers at the existing school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"http://www.edsource.org/iss_charter.html\">EdSource\u003c/a>, a non-partisan education policy group, school boards are expected to approve a charter unless it can be clearly demonstrated that the plan is educationally unsound, its implementation is unlikely, or specific core requirements have not been fulfilled. If a local district does deny a charter, petitioners can appeal first to the county board of education, and finally to the State Board of Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter schools are approved for up to five years with subsequent five-year renewal periods. A charter can be revoked by the chartering authority if the school:\u003cbr>\na) fails to meet or pursue the originally stated student outcomes\u003cbr>\nb) shows evidence of fiscal mismanagement\u003cbr>\nc) violates the law\u003cbr>\nBut unless the infringement is considered to be a major threat to the health or safety of students, charter operators are often given the chance to remedy the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Academically, how do charter schools compare?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe overall student academic performance in California's charter schools is actually pretty similar to traditional public schools. According to a 2011 report by the \u003ca href=\"http://school-performance.usc.edu/pdf/usc_charter_perf_dash_2011_final1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">University of Southern California\u003c/a>, a slightly higher proportion of charters are performing at the highest category of the API (which measures a school’s average student performance on statewide tests). But, higher proportions of charters are also performing at the bottom two API categories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Arguments for and against them\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe proponents:\u003cbr>\na) A lot of traditional public schools fail to provide students with adequate educational opportunities, especially in low-income areas.\u003cbr>\nb) Large school districts get too mired in bureaucracy and too inefficient to run schools successfully and adequately respond to a community's needs.\u003cbr>\nc) Charter schools have greater academic and financial autonomy and more direct community accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The critics:\u003cbr>\na) Charter schools divert desperately needed financial and teaching resources from existing struggling schools.\u003cbr>\nb) They serve only a small fraction of California’s students, and have not proven to be academically superior.\u003cbr>\nC) They often lack proper accountability, both in terms of student achievement, teacher performance, and teacher rights. This argument is in part a response to accusations that certain charter schools stifle union activity among teachers as well as ingenuously boost their own academic profiles by recruiting the best students and kicking out the worst. The latter concern has been the focus of a recent bill in the legislature calling for greater transparency regarding student body demographics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Learn more\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://school-performance.usc.edu/pdf/usc_charter_perf_dash_2011_final1.pdf\"> School Performance Dashboard\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/calawquery?codesection=edc&codebody=&hits=20\">Charter schools legislation in the California Education Code\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/cs/re/\">Charter School FAQs (California Board of Education)\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli> \u003ca href=\"http://www.edsource.org/iss_charter.html\">EdSource (a non-partisan California education policy group)\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.charterconference.org/2011/exhibitors/pdfs/CACharter11_Demographic_Fact_Sheet.pdf\">California Charter Schools Association Fact Sheet\u003c/a>:\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/si/cs/ap1/imagemap.aspx\">CA Bd. of Ed.
