If you ask most people in Bed-Stuy’s District 16 why they think enrollment is falling, chances are they’ll point to charter schools: privately managed public schools, which have been on the rise in New York City for more than a decade.Charter schools were originally dreamed up to be laboratories for innovation in public education. Instead, many see them as a threat — competing with neighborhood schools for space, resources, and kids. Is this really a zero-sum game?In this episode, we talk to parents and educators on both sides of the district-charter divide to explore why charter schools seem especially polarizing in a Black neighborhood like Bed-Stuy, and what the growth of charter schools means for the future of this community.NOTES<ul><li>Subscribe to Brooklyn Deep’s <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brooklyn-deep-third-rail/id834770888" target="_blank">Third Rail podcast</a></li><li><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/school-colors-discussion-at-nycasid-meeting-co-sponsored-by-cecs-13-16-tickets-79906401197" target="_blank">RSVP here for the November 21 meeting of nycASID</a> featuring a discussion with Mark and Max, moderated by Natasha Capers</li></ul>CREDITS<ul><li>Producers / Hosts: Mark Winston Griffith and Max Freedman</li><li>Editing & Sound Design: Elyse Blennerhassett</li><li>Production Support: Jaya Sundaresh, Ilana Levinson</li><li>Music: avery r. young and de deacon board, Chris Zabriskie, Blue Dot Sessions, Ricardo Lemvo</li><li>Featured in this episode: Rafiq Kalam Id-Din, Steve Brier, Anika Greenidge, NeQuan McLean, Nikki Bowen, Oma Holloway, Rahesha Amon, Odolph Wright</li></ul>
