Hmong Charter Schools are exploiting vulnerable Hmong parents who want
their kids to learn about Hmong culture. Take for instant majority of
the directors pay themselves an average of $80K a year, with Christina
Hang over $92K/yr not including benefits and her husband pao yang $70K
as the public relation (guidestar.org). Majority of the schools are
clan and family run, Hmong Academy is husband and wife run, the rest
are operated by family and friends with little oversight, majority of
the family employees are not qualify, nor is hiring practice
consistance. The white employees seem innocent and out of the loop.

In 2007, Hmong Academy has a 36.89%% reading proficiency and 17.82%% in
math. that equals to they aren't educating your kids, but building big
houses in the suburb. by the way in 2006, Hmong Academy have a profit
of $579,000.00, where are they putting this resources? your children
or their family? with over 500 students Maicy Vu get's $81K, again
because there's white people there to make sure there's less
corruption.

neeg,

i guess you have a point. but, academic education, especially in the
context of charter (and private) schools, is a service business. if
treated as such, the customers (parents and students) have the most
effective means to change the situation.

for all your stats, what does the landscape of customer satisfaction
look like?

Zhen,

My sense is customer satisfaction is high since majority of the hmong
parents don't pay attention enough to the bottomline, they entrusted
that responsibility to those who claimed they will educate hmong
children.

Parents and school adminstrators are at fault, but the victims are the
hmong students, who are future leaders and engineers or future low
income Hmong. If our hope depend on our children to elavate the hmong
poverty level, then we should not exploit them with below average
education labeled in an "all you can get cultural and academic
learning."

If we see the wrong, we have a responsibility to see that there is
accountability, it is the lease we can do for our fellow Hmong.

By the way private school are paid with personal income, charter
school are pay with our public taxed dollar.

larry,

aren't problems supposed to be resolved peacefully? if we take faith
out of the picture, and operate as civilized human beings, that is.

neeg,

is there community awareness? to me, at least, the hmong in the
midwest are the most progressive hmong people. if you really care
about the future of the students, i don't think talks about paycheck
and compensation will help much; it will only be viewed as a tactic of
personal attack (stemming from personal envy/jealousy) and put focus/
energy away from the real problem of academic education.

if your hypothesis is correct (that parents do not know, are not
aware, have no sense of the bottom line, etc...), and if you are
genuinely interested in helping the students, i would hold a community...

Neegntsuag,

I don't blame those who make a living out of this but as parent, I always
believe that integration is a key to success in main stream American life.

To me, having a child as a second class or above would put he/she in a
disavantage competition and probably through his/her life. Failing a child
to be the best potential is not a good parent at all.

So Hmong parent need to learn how to be the right parent for their children.
