It is the pro-charter community that is the most vocal in stopping cases like this.  It gives everyone a bad name.  The anti-charter community wants these to be the only schools to exist so that they can keep saying that all charters are bad.  Let's get rid of the bad ones and get more good ones.[/quote]

I also agree but the system is set up to allow this to happen.  Kent Amos took advantage of the system that allowed him to do it.  There are many example nationwide -- charter schools set-up by founders; for profit management companies set-up by founders who then employ themselves and family members, etc.  The reality is that in many cases anybody can set up a charter school -- Kent Amos is a perfect example with his corporate background at Xerox.  And I always like to use the examples of Dion Sanders and Andre Agassi who making great second careers in the charter school business.[/quote]
