ProPublica Tests How Easily Anyone Can Open a Private School
Original: Almost Anyone Can Start a Private School. We Put This to the Test.
ProPublica reports that private schools in the United States can be founded with minimal oversight, sometimes by people with questionable backgrounds, in places like barns and strip malls. To test the claim, the investigative outlet ran an experiment attempting to open a school itself, highlighting weak state regulation of private education.
Why now: The findings raise concerns about lax regulation of private schools and child safety.
