The organizations that set up and run the charters will profit from them, plain and simple -- they  will get a certain amount of taxpayer money for running the school and they can use it to pay administrators however much they want and teachers however little they can get away with.

Besides, Charter schools are NOT doing a better job and there's no reason to think a new school with no experience in a neighborhood is going to do better than a school that is already there and has ties to the community.[/quote]

Yes, they are doing a better job.  That's exactly why an outside authority recommended closing more DCPS and opening more charters.  Go back and read the conclusions.

Also, many charters are started by parents and by educators, they're not here to make a profit.  If they were, they wouldn't have gone into education.[/quote]

Many charters are started by parents and educators??  Name them please.  And even those make a profit -- dedicated educators have to make a living and opening a charter gives them more opportunity for profits, as they can set their salaries higher than the school board does.  The whole point of charters is entrepreneurship and competition.

IFF is hardly an outside authority -- they are deeply tied to the charter movement.
