It seems to me, the point of the charter school system is to try new ideas in education. This school seems to have certain ideals: - teach to the test - observe all rules, to the letter, no exceptions I'm sure there are better ways of doing education than this, but, there are also certainly worse ways of doing it. And those worse ways are occuring all over the USA in public schools. These charter schools take many different philosophies of education. Some do better than others (although it's tough to do worse than many of our public schools...) At its best, there's a type of evolution occuring, where the best ideas survive, and the others are left behind.
