[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charter schools were created by republicans to F with public schools. Don't overthink it. [/quote]

+1  I'm kind of tickled by the idea that someone thinks they were created to help the underprivileged.  They were created to weaken and siphon money out of public schools and into pockets like the DeVos's.[/quote]

I suggest you read up on the history of DC.  DC was ranked dead last by state as the worst public school in the country.  Charters were created to provide families with new opportunities and educational model of learning.  Charters created competition in the educational landscape.  DC schools started improving because of this.  Also the ward with the highest percentage of families choosing charters are the poorest ward which is 7 and 8.  So yes the poor and underprivileged families are choosing charters because they have found their neighborhood schools to be lacking.

Lastly, charters are what is keeping middle class families in the city and contributing to the prosperity of the city with riding housing prices and thus taxes..
