MMU1 as a great glue to overcome the feuds and unite the eternal districts and charters
MMU1 operations on the public math education for the grades 2-5 may be able to be utilized as a great glue to unite them instead of feeding the feuds and fears from the both sides based on the common grounds, by providing the mutual obstacles that both the districts and the charters are facing much easierly than without MMU1:
For the preliminary document as to how MMU x.x series can be a very efficient glue to bring the school districts and charters together, please click here at Lee’s pre-release of MMU proposals to districts-CMOs.
To see the glimpses of what MMU series may be able to see the potentials of MMU to accelerate the CMO network expansions efficiently, please check the comparison charts between the districts vs. CMOs vs. star CMOs vs. MMU x.x series here.
The 5 common grounds or challenges for both sides of the school districts and the charters (to overcome the feuds):
- The saturation or shortage of the Teachers (especially quality math teachers) crisis, especially in the big cities. This is getting worse not just for the districts, but also the CMOs as the charter networks try to expand rapidly with the steep competitions of demands with far less supplies.
- Increasing difficulties to raise the math average and to reduce the math poverty: Math saturations stablized on both sides in almost all USA states, which make it difficult to raise the math average at the big district scales although things are far easier in the small districts.
- They both need super stars to win the battles. (Charters have the star CMOs, but the public school systems of districts don’t and yet has the resources.)
- Their original intentions to help the poorest districts with the common goals (before the self-interest and competitions or vain prides get in) without which neither districts nor charters nor CMOs can for the next 10-20 or even 30 years.
- A lot of money wasted for the wishful thinking while the EDU budgets never seem to be enough.
So, aside from the typical budget allocations and some conventional innovations here and there, what else can they do?
2016-2017 charter shares
NOTE: estimated charter student enrollment by 2016-2017 is over 3 Million charter students, which may be over 6% of the student population.

The key super-star quality math impacts that can make both side overcome the feuds during the transitions. The basic ideas are provided in this overarching table that compares the districts, charters, super CMOs vs. the MMU1 math impacts.
If they both rely more on MMU series, both the districts and charters can devote much of their resources on literacy, science and other critical EDU resources to much more quickly empower the poorest regions.
