Charter Schools
Because kids need public education that works.
Activists want charters to be held to the same accountability standards as traditional public schools.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
A recent "Last Week Tonight" segment has resurfaced some debates about the merits of charter schools.
Duh, we just have to run them like pizza shops!
"It is increasingly clear that full-time virtual charter schools are not a good fit for many children," a new report says.
As research shows charter schools are failing many students, some public schools are taking reform into their own hands.
“They like charters in part because they decrease the publicness of public schools."
Students with "fairly substantial special education needs" are not faring well in some charter environments.
