The charter schools is a way around busing, integration, teaching with little transparencies. A profit engine for those running the schools.
Few local controls, oversight over the curriculum. Have not proven to be any better then public schools in test scores.
Less diverse of a student body. No busing for students so limit the applicants to those with transportation. Special need students are not assured admittance.
Charter schools will increase the tribal like separation going on in our society. At the time the opposite is much in need.
Public schools are just that a reflection of the surrounding areas. One of the biggest issues with pubic schools is the funding model. With property taxes the fuel. Affluent areas better schools, less funded schools suffer. Taking a portion of the funds away from publicly accountable schools to a private opaque one is problematic at best.
