Charter schools should be measured witht he same guidelines as public schools, because they are public schools - what they should not have to do is jump through the same hoops that "mainstream" schools do. Charter schools are suppose to be IR&D for mainstream - but in North Carolina they are set up for fail - twice as many hoops to jump through. Education in this state is basically teach to the test - and that's all -- As far as teachers go - a lot of charter schools get good teachers ( some may hire the "passed on" teachers -- but then again -- they probably end up in other mainstream schools as well -- mainstream schools are anti-charter schools --
When somethings broken you tend to want to fix it -- except for schools - fixing them is just lip service. > - "Charter schools shouldn't be measured by the same guidelines as >public schools."
