Peter Greene is unimpressed by the claim that excuses charter schools have solved the problem of low scoring students. "Discipline! SLANT! No excuses!

But what practices?  Besides the questionable morality of such an approach, a vast number of parents simply wouldn't stand for it. And how would we replace the mission of public education-- to educate all students-- with the mission of No Excuse charters-- to educate only those students who are a "good fit."
