In my experience people who want charter schools want one of two things, either to send tax money to a religious school, or to destroy the public school employees. There's a lot of actual knowledge and infrastructure behind running a public school. It's sounds appealing that you can do better than some terrible big city trouble-bound public school, and we should all strive for better educational opportunities, but the charter schools consistently show now benefit and generally worse results than public schools. And that's not from lack of funding from the billionaire class. For example, see https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED528633.pdf https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED528633.pdf. That seems pretty settled. I think a more productive question is what can we do to help under-performing public schools. My suggestion is more funding to help the kids from underprivileged backgrounds catch up. That includes free breakfast and lunch, food to take home on the weekends, pre-K education, more resources for the school including reducing class sizes.
