| Concept Schools contributes a lot to the education in the Midwest |
For almost a year, a group of anti-charter people are attacking Turkish charter schools by labelling them as gulen charter schools. By this, they try to manipulate the public so that parents would not send their children to these schools. Despite their relentless effort to denigrate the Concept Schools for operating so-called Gulen charter schools, it is not deniable how it successfully contributes to the local education here in the Midwest.
Recent history of failure of the public education showed that charter schools are the best alternative to the public schools. Therefore, each and every citizen should support charter schools for a better education for the future of American children.
Education is as vital as water for society. If charters need money, they should have it because there is no other way to run a charter school. If someone has a magic stick in his hand, then he can try to run a school without costing anything to anybody. No doubt that everybody will applaud him if he succeeds in that.
And also we should not forget that fact that the money that are being spent by public schools is much greater than the money used by charters. At the end, however, charters end up with greater success.

Two CMOs are opening schools in Milwaukee this fall. Milwaukee Scholars Charter School, 7000 W. Florist Ave., expects more than 250 kindergarten through fifth-graders.

The Milwaukee Math and Science Academy, 110 W. Burleigh St., expects more than 150 students, also in kindergarten through fifth grade. It is run by Chicago-based Concept Schools, which operates more than two dozen schools in the Midwest and it is chartered by Milwaukee's city government.
Both schools expect to grow in coming years. And there are other CMOs committed to or considering opening schools in Milwaukee......
