[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm coming in late here and haven't read through, but I do feel charter schools are very valuable to kids and students. I also dislike how our legislatures and governors have been against them as they are very valuable in communities where the public education is not good enough. I also don't buy the argument that charters deprive monies from the local public schools: our poor public schools get 38% or more of local revenue and fail in core education of students year after year.

So yes I think VA should have more charter schools.[/quote]

You've given no reason why to support them. Kids already are able to move to a different school if there school is not performing within the public school system. That's why SOL tests are so important. The charters at the state level are regional charters. Think governor schools. Poor kids would not be able to attend. They would live too far away. Charters of course take money away from public education. How could they not? The state only allocates so much money towards education. They are not increasing the amount just for charters. Our local schools btw are all doing fine. They are not failing. If you want more fairness push for better mixed school boundaries and apartments in more affluent areas.[/quote]
