Charter schools were used to get out of legally mandated de-segregation. If we want a better education system there's no shortcut. You need a well funded, equitable public education system. We're the outliers in the industrial world here. Look at school lunches as just a baseline comparison of what fuel we give our children and then imagine all of the lacking supplies we force teachers and parents to purchase. The issue is we determine funding for them based on zip code. Poor schools get less funding. Isn't that ass-backwards? All the elites get to enjoy wonderful districts or private options they can afford and the public gets stuck with textbooks from the 50s.
