[quote=Anonymous]The Hillsdale charter lobby is a religious concern that's actively trying to destroy traditional public education. Its president claims that teaching is so easy that anyone can do it. The main problem with charters is that they usually aren't well regulated and they divert money from already underfunded public schools. I've seen some studies that show Massachusetts is having some success with charter schools. But its regulatory structure is rigorous. Other places -- Indiana is the system I'm most familiar with -- have such lax oversight, it's ridiculous. An auditor's report from a couple years back suggested that one charter school pocketed $100 million it shouldn't have. Studies on charter school performance suggest that they're either no better than traditional public schools in educational outcomes or maybe a little worse. In any event, the results aren't enough to justify the extra expense and the "separate but equal" bifurcated school systems. [/quote]
