‘Disciplinary fees’ show the trouble with charter schools and privatization — MSNBC

‘Disciplinary fees’ show the trouble with charter schools and privatization — MSNBC:
"Chicago’s Noble Network of Charter Schools is making some cash on the side by charging “disciplinary fees” to unruly students. The parents of one teenager, writes Traci Lee, had to pay close to $2,000 in fines for infractions including “an unkempt appearance and not making eye contact.”

Another example of using contracts and privatization to soak people for acts that would be OK except for private tyranny.
