Founded in 1920, the National Bureau of Economic Research is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization dedicated to promoting a greater understanding of how the economy works. The NBER is committed to undertaking and disseminating unbiased economic research among public policymakers, business professionals, and the academic community.
Over the years the NBER's research agenda has encompassed a wide variety of issues that confront our society. Early research focused on the aggregate economy, examining in detail the business cycle and long-term economic growth. Simon Kuznets' pioneering work on national income accounting, Wesley Mitchell's influential study of the business cycle, and Milton Friedman's research on the demand for money and the determinants of consumer spending were among the early studies done at the NBER.

because the grades of all students are "evaluated in one basket" including Special Ed, and ESL... charter school simply "do not offer" those programs... and applicants turned down by this excuse: we do not have this program in our school, we can not meet the needs of your child, and we will not be in compliance with the State...

btw, charter schools have more regulations and accountability vs. public schools.

they hire teachers that are cheap, without experience, those who are right out from college and have no intentions to stay in this profession

Galina, they hire teachers who are good, and teachers only stay there based on MERIT. Not because you have been there for a long time. Just like any private company.

lotteries are there because they have more students who want to get in vs. space in school
