Those are just really rare - only a few states (Wisconsin, California, Michigan, Massachusetts, and Arizona) even allow private companies to accept charter money, and for-profit charters make up the vast majority of for-profit schools in America (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/For-profit_education https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/For-profit_education and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_management_organization https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_management_organiz...). Whether these corporations should even be allowed to exist is controversial and it’s entirely possible Zach doesn’t support them. Sounds like the place you worked was an edge case.
- maxharris 7y ago> Charter schools We didn't take any charter money because it comes with strings. We were doing our own curriculum development. (Everyone there had a healthy distaste for the standard curriculum that gets taught in most places.) And before you start, we were secular. Most of us, including myself, were/are atheists! Maybe I did work at an edge case, but I still think that this is an edge case the world needs more of.
