Charter schools are a good option. The idea can be implimented by itself or the charter schools can compete for vouchers. but at the same time don't drain tax dollars from public schools I don't really care about the public schools except as a means to an end. They exist to educate students. If the students get educated some other way I don't care that less tax dollars are given to public schools. Also charter schools are going to cost money. If they don't "drain money from public schools", its only because they are considered public schools. You still move money away from non-charter schools. "Keep neighborhood school administrators on their toes", is a good thing but its not all that is needed for real competition. You have to let schools that just can't get it done fail, and move their students to other schools. You provide better service (in this case education) by getting rid of the poor services providers.
