[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But aren't Charters just another type of public school?[/quote] Yes, but they choose their own curricula and make their own staffing decisions. So, Washington Latin was able to decide that all students would begin studying Latin in 5th grade. BASIS can decide that middle school kids take AP Algebra. Yu Ying can decide that students will spend half their time speaking Chinese. Those are decisions that Brent or Stuart Hobson or Lafayette or Deal can't make. In the cases of Lafayette and Deal, it doesn't matter so much because they've always had good reputations. In the cases of Brent and Stuart Hobson though, it means losing families to schools with more ambitious programs. [/quote]
