Charter Schools etc

The charter school movement is huge now. Especially in the DC area. I hate them. People who know nothing about education investing in schools that children have to compete to go to, even though they are newer, have less experienced teachers & administrators, and do not necessarily provide a better education, goes against everything a strong public education system should do. Instead of increasing the charter school movement, how about investing in public schools to make them better? It's not really that difficult, considering the ridiculous amounts of money that goes into charter schools. The Washington Post today has this extremely good article about the problem with charter schools. Read it and be convinced!
