2. Charter schools are a scam

At least here in NC, they do not have to provide transportation for students, and I don't think they even have to provide lunch.

Charters are a way for Republicans to "Defund the Schools" by re-directing money from public schools to charters. In theory, charters were supposed to be "laboratories" where they could experiment by trying different programs, and then they could be applied to public schools as well. But it seems that that never happens!

"School choice" is just another way to kill off public schools. Republicans don't think that states should spend any money education children. On the other hand, though, they seem fine with giving public money to charter schools and even to private schools.
