[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charter schools bleed money from the public schools. And, charter schools don't have the same requirements as public schools or any oversite.  It's a crap shoot, could be amazing or a total disaster!  More often than not, a disaster [/quote]

New poster. Charters don’t actually take any money from public schools directly. All schools are funded per pupil. If a public school’s enrollment is suffering, I think they should do a better job of figuring out why people don’t want to send their kid there versus blaming the school they opted to send their kids to. I do agree that charters need more oversight and that many of them are absolutely terrible and not actually a better option than the public alternative. That being said, I think it’s clear that parents want something that isn’t necessarily offered in the traditional public school setting. It would be better for districts to offer those options rather than fighting against them.[/quote]
