Read Replies (1) | Respond to So any Willy and Dilly can set up a charter school with out oversight with tax dollars? Yea right. Why not? Are you assuming parents are too stupid to decide for themselves whether a school is educating their kids? If Willy and Dilly establish a good school, they'll get students; if not, they won't stay in business. Unlike the truly horrible public schools in most urban areas (schools that liberals would prefer to force kids without money to attend...maybe Randy Newman's classic song "Rednecks" could be rewritten to replace "Rednecks" with "Unions"), they'll have to perform.Public schools in my neck of the woods are working well. The broken public school mantra is just a mythical imagination. That's good for you. In your neck of the woods, charter or publicly funded schools are presumably not needed. But I have no idea what planet you inhabit if you think that public schools in city environments are working well. If so, why are there waiting lists of thousands of students for individual KIPP schools?13k is not a lot when private K-12 schools charge tuition north of 30k. But 13k is a lot for school that can't teach basic literacy when there are plenty of private schools that charge half that, yet manage to educate kids.
