[quote=Anonymous]They drain resources from public schools, some of their biggest backers are people whose goals are to bust unions and to turn public education into a profit-making operation, and their function as a safety-valve in places like DC can mean that the pressure to fix public schools generally dissipates. So if I ran the zoo, there wouldn't be charters. (Hell, there probably wouldn't be private schools except, perhaps, parochial schools and special ed schools for kids with learning differences that are rare enough that a typical school district can't support a program that really meets their needs). I'd focus on keeping people in the public system by creating public schools that are as good or better than private schools and by making such schools the rule rather than the exception. But that public policy orientation doesn't blind me to the fact that there are plenty of kids in DC who will be better educated in charters than in their local DCPS school. [/quote]
