Initially Charter schools had support because of the idea. The idea being that the public school system was too entrenched in its antiquated ways, resulting in diminishing returns. So, if we allow a charter school to do something they believe is going to get better results, if we allow a few of them to show us alternatives, maybe we can discover better ways and bring the demonstrated improvements from alternatives into the mainstream of the public school system.

The charters have demonstrated that to some extent but people don't believe these alternative approaches will work for the general mainstream population. The argument being that it is just being used as a way to segregate based on socio-economic status.
