[quote=Anonymous]School Choice is a buzz word for Charters. Charters are an alternative to the public school model. Charters are operated by outside groups with unknown motives, sometimes for profit. A proliferation of Charters would mean a weakening of the public school model, resources lessened for public schools and an acceptance of "what-ever" as curriculum. Public school - done for the public good and supported and nurtured by the public,  and answerable to the public provides a very important commonality for our nation, any nation. We lose a lot of cohesiveness without it. Private education exists for those who want it. Changing public schools to a private school model goes against a fundamental value our nation was built on, equal opportunity - meaning equal access, providing all with a similar beginning. It's the "big picture". That's what fuels the passion against it. There may not be as much passion against the issue when discussing anecdotal minutia on a very local level.[/quote]
