Reply to Pennsylvania Cyber Charter Owners and Operators Get Rich While Students Receive Poor Education by Open_Veins_8
I work at an online Charter school. I keep it on the DL that I hate the idea behind charter schools. Schools shouldn’t have a CEO. Students really get out what they put into it. If the student isn’t motivated to do the work, they are going to fail horribly

Good question! I just found this:
>No license is normally required for selling uncut unprocessed fresh fruits and vegetables at farmers markets or vegetable stands in most areas. It is not even necessary to follow the Home Food Processor rules, so long as the produce is not prepared or processed. Local authorities may have other requirements based on the size of your stand or operation and the location where you sell. Zoning laws or HOA rules, for example.
But, in general, growing and selling fruits, vegetables or microgreens grown on your own property fall under rules for "farm stands," "retail farm stands," and "farmers' markets."
The state of Pennsylvania has a PDF describing farm stand requirements. In brief, these say That your operation is an Exempt Farmers Market Stands if you:
>
>sell only raw products from your garden or farm; fruits and vegetables that have been harvested but not processed in any way (no value-added work done, not a ready-to-eat product) This would cover vendors selling fresh
raw fruits and vegetables.

No, they did not. It got DeWine's and Federal EPA approval, not PA.

Tom Wolf got rid of state mandatory testing to graduate.

I’m not sure you know what false equivalency means. Bonus points for Bezos’ paper!

You know where you can jam that false equivalence, right?

Tax payers do have a choice if they stay active and informed about how is running for elections and what they actually stand for.
Not sure how to prevent another George santos though 🤷

You should read the article. Cyber charter schools underperformed compared to public schools by every metric.

Your arguments with yourself are weird. Both governors approved the burning. It was on the border, and now much of Western PA is at risk.

Both governors approved the burning. It’s not that difficult. Both governors suck.

yes but there are actual checks and balances in place that enable school district residents to hold their schools accountable, even if these processes aren't always effective or efficient. the important part is that with public schools, those processes are there and they can be improved upon. in a private education system, the amounts of checks and balances are drastically reduced.

Public school isn’t really all that great either. It’s outdated.

I'll name and shame. I have a friend who works for Agora Cyber Charter. From what he tells me, he usually has only about two or three kids actually active in class. Nearly all of his "students" log in and ignore him. Their software tells him that they don't even have his screen active on their computer.
He was recently reprimanded for saying this in a PLC, suggesting what they are doing is illegal.
Because it 100% is. These charters cost taxpayers obscene amounts of money to educate habitually absent students who graduate after literally doing nothing.
