1. Charter Schools IMHO

are a way to take money from established brick and mortar schools. It's fraught with fraud and a virtual one? An easier mechanism to funnel more money out.

Thus the constant levies by school district and making tax payers foot the bill for more teachers and better schools, bldgs, equip, etc... year after year.

The frightening part is in these times a college education and degree can get you nothing but a McDonald's job.
