ProPublica reporters test how easy it is to start a private school
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 have opened an investigation into private school regulation by attempting to start a private school themselves. The newsroom says that while reporters have no business actually running a school, they launched the test to demonstrate to readers just how simple the process of establishing one can be. The project suggests scrutiny of loose oversight and lax requirements in the private education sector.
Why now: Readers are reacting to an unusual bit of investigative journalism that exposes how lightly regulated private school creation is.
