What magic fairy dust could they throw on the kids to make them better students ? Most of the studies I've seen have not shown me that charters have statically better results than traditional school districts.

Are the charters safer ? probably and thats important


Charters are just another education option, competition is not a word I would use.

You know its funny....aside from my mentioning DPS I could have SWORN the article I posted was about the Philly school system and not a pissing match about charters vs DPS or the families of the DPS students who clearly are ALL dysfunctional and have no redeeming qualities....
