Yeah, these aren't things that a simple google would find: KIPP has a bunch of great press, a 'documentary' (again self-serv
ing propaganda) and a whole lot of goodwill from a whole lot of rich people. But the organization is definitely more controversial than it appears - and gets donations in addition to the same per-pupil funding as public schools in order require teachers to work 12-hour days and a bunch of other questionable labor practices. So, yeah, sorry to type your ear off, but this is something that gets my blood up.
