I don't think you realize how bad Chicago public schools are.
We realize that, but we fail to see how giving them to a for-profit corporation will improve them.
Agreed. I attended two charter high schools and from what I could gather, they weren't any better than some of the public schools near my area. Perhaps slightly better teachers, but there was burnout among the teachers because of it.
They leave after a few years for different schools. Usually public schools in other parts of the state, in fact. It doesn't seem to be frustration with students though. Seems to be clashing with faculty, especially in the second charter high school I attended (when there was a "constitutionalist" ideological bias by the charter members, and when Glenn Beck clips were occasionally played in school as "something to think about and agree with").
