Charter Schools are NOT Public Schools

It's one of the biggest lies out there.

This post from Diane Ravitch's excellent blog sums it up.

Charter schools are NOT public schools but private schools designed to rip off taxpayer money. They were force fed on the rest of us when vouchers didn’t get anywhere with the public.

Charter “schools” really need to be abolished. Period. You want a “school” without regulations and strings attached, create your own private school. Nobody is stopping you. But don’t ask the taxpayers to foot the bill. When taxpayers foot the bill, there needs to be a system of accountability. There are none with charter schools, not even those “sponsored” by local school districts.
