One section that I found particularly interesting - [b]though charters spend less per student than most public and privates, they can paradoxically cost taxpayers more money by moving kids from private schools into public schools[/b]:

“Buddin found that charters serving primary students in highly urban districts take almost one third of their students from private schools, on average. Urban charters draw nearly one quarter of their middle school students and over 15 percent of their high school students from the private sector. Even in non-urban districts, charters pull between 7 and 11 percent of all their students from private schools.”[/quote]

Of course Cato would be up in arms about this.  Heaven forbid we actually fulfill the promise of a free public education for everyone regardless of income.  Terrible.  BTW, those parents who would've put their kids in private are still paying taxes for the schools.[/quote]
