ProPublica reporters start a private school to test lax oversight
Original: NEW: We’re reporters, not teachers. We have no business running a private school. But to show you just how easy it is to
ProPublica journalists launched an investigation into how easily a private school can be opened, deliberately founding one themselves despite being reporters rather than educators. The newsroom says it set up the school to demonstrate firsthand how simple the process is, in an article examining oversight of private education.
Why now: The undercover-style experiment raises fresh concerns about weak regulation of private schools.
