[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 583427, member: 789"] Sorry I misquoted above, those percentages were percentages cheaper not percentage of. Your home state is pretty close to the national average with respect to the savings per student of sending a kid to a charter school than a public school. I pulled up a bunch of North Carolina news regarding schools and it appears you all have the same misinformation campaign I’ve seen elsewhere except it’s much more organized. The school unions and political power block are very concerned, nervous and fearful because they’re under attack for doing a generally crappy job educating our youth while larding on costs at an accelerating rate. Private & charter schools are an assault against the status quo. I was able to find some info after searching diligently. Links are below. Average expenditure in North Carolina per public school student (charter & public) during 2015-2016 school year was $8296. Charter funding per student in 2017-2018 school year was $5771. It’s was at least 31% cheaper to fund a charter student in your state unless there was a dramatic drop in school costs between 2015 & 2017. Gotta admit your state makes is unusually hard to get what should be easily accessible public data but I don’t live there so I’ll spot you that it’s probably easier for you all to find such data. Across the nation most of these elements are part of the charter school deal: A. They must enroll all students desiring to attend. Where there’s more applicants than spots, selection is done by a blind lottery. B. If there performance drops to an unacceptable level, they all lose their jobs and the school is shuttered. Our country needs to stop making excuses for poorly performing public schools. There’s good ones out there, but by & large our nation does a pitiful job of educating its youth. The vast majority are educated in public schools so the booger belongs to them, our lawmakers, etc and if they cared they’d start fixing it.
