the problem with the charter schools is that they only accept students who are already making good grades. students who are average or below average or who have learning disabilities are being left behind. it's a stopgap measure to raise our test scores and look better to people starting families in order to keep our young professionals, but in the long run the charter system is doing more harm than good by attracting the better teachers out of the general public system and not providing for any students but the best and brightest.

i have feelings/ opinions on the subject. didn't mean to babble like that.
