For-profit charter schools and charter schools that use for-profit service organizations drain money away from the student. Indeed, districts must be more creative in offering different models that address social needs and student interests. Menomonie Area School District is considering closing a well-regarded elementary school in a village 6 miles from town because of declining enrollment. It must also look at finding a model that will attract students from the district to attend that school. If they allow the master teachers of the district to develop a school that they would love to teach in, then the problem would be solved.
a) performance vs challenge index is no different than traditional
b) induced large racial segregation in neighborhoods than have diverse populations
c) district left with huge fixed costs with 1/2 empty schools in high poverty, high needs areas of town as charters take direct % of dollars
d) over the years ZERO charter operators have willingly agree to take full attendance zones without arm twisting or extra subsidies (which makes the lack of performance even more suspect)
School choice is really a method of hiding student underperformance and failures by allowing private schools and charter school to dump their problem students back to the must accept public schools.
"Why aren’t Democrats"
They are owned by the union and the union cares about its own interest and not the kids.

1. Waitlists mean little if there is no cost to join them
2. Come to Atlanta or at least looks at the data (https://apsinsights.org/blog/)...where 30% of students are charter operator run schools
