[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 583347, member: 789"] In my county, charter elementary schools are 41% the cost per student of public, charter grade schools 43% & the charter high school is 47%. Standardized testing annually shows a wide chasm between charter kids performance at all levels & public. Thee charter high school nearly rivals the Catholic & privates for college placement, SAT/ACT scores, etc. This despite the demographics of the charters being more integrated, lower income & much higher percentage of special needs on both ends of the spectrum (high & low) from the public schools. It wasn’t any different when I lived on the left coast, the percentages nearly identical; performance roughly the same. The public schools waste of resources is incredible. Every School Board meeting where I currently live when they get to the budget there’s a charter vs public discussion & I hear the same drivel about charters sucking public school money away. The facts show otherwise in every location I’ve ever lived. There’s 1.2:1 staff to student in the public schools & 1:6 in the charters. The difference is rules are enforced, there’s challenging classes offered at each level, and it’s run like a business so there’s no extra overhead. Compare that to the wasteful public school run by your tenured bureaucrats. [/QUOTE]
