6/ Although Arkansas set up a hotline and email address for people to report suspected fraud or misuse of EFA funds, parents and educators told ProPublica their concerns were ignored.

Here’s what happened when a teacher for a different microschool contacted the state:

wow just learned about Primer, a sf ‘microschool’ school choice startup and in a purely hypothetical and imaginary science fiction story in which I was the protagonist, those folks are examples of characters I’d be 100% ok with putting against the wall and shooting in the head.

This, like homeschooling, has been a path for some parents to indoctrinate their kids with mad religious and right wing ideology.

But under Trump and the increasing stranglehold on publicly-funded education I could now see this as a way out for liberal parents.

Thoughts?

You are absolutely right. The Microschool movement is already here.

“Running a school isn’t really like running a business,” says the founder of Apogee Dripping Springs microschool in Texas. “You’re essentially building a community.”

An Arizona mom grew a 7-student pandemic microschool into 8 K–8 sites, plus virtual and high school programs—about 10 students each.

The model is expanding access and creating jobs but also drawing legal pushback from local public schools. Learn more from Colleen Hroncich.

Private equity is big in the for-profit charter game in places like AZ, OH and my state, MI.

Also jumping into the microschool racket in Florida.

This is not a model that puts kids first.

I also cannot help but see "Microschool" movement as (perhaps unwitting and unaware) pawns of the currently INCREDIBLY successful reactionary assault on public education in America.

Yet another way to try to devalue the importance of skilled teachers and a public civic institution for all.
"If we don't make it easier for people with no experience to get approval rubber-stamped for an ad hoc school, they're fail!"

Sorry to be mean, but *good*. A rando should not be deciding to take on the entire education of a bunch of kids without a lot of expertise!

What if “school” started with an hour of play outside?

Former public school teacher Ashley Wagner built Petrichor School—a Nebraska microschool rooted in movement, hands-on projects, and imagination. A fresh take on learning.

I know that Alpha School knows this, because they are not content to just expand their small microschool private network. They've been trying to start public charter schools, called Unbound Academy.

This is not going well.

A sixth grader arrived reading at a twelfth-grade level but with third-grade vocabulary. Within a year, he tested at twelfth grade across the board. At Hilton Horizons Academy, students work at their ability level—not their age. Colleen Hroncich profiles a Tennessee microschool.

Florida raves about their cornucopia of school choices and praises teachers who start their own microschool. I wonder how those teachers plan on handling sexual harassment from parents. Or sick days.
