On the other hand, it's clear that sucking good teachers, good students, and good parents from public schools into selective charters is a form of "brain drain" that negatively impacts the performance of students at public schools.
- mikepurvis 8y agoOntario has this effect as well with the separate Catholic school board, which is a long-standing bit of political football. Publicly funded, but pays better and has no mandate as far as providing special education, remedial programs, etc. So yeah, no surprise that the Catholic schools perform better than the public ones, which leads to a narrative that they're "doing something right" and makes a discussion about merging the two systems that much harder to engage in.
