Name one.

All kidding aside, my experience has proven the truth in what
you say a thousand times over.

A majority of charter schools are started by misguided
wannabes who believe that public schools, by mere virtue of
being "public," are necessarily incompetent and bad. Then the
government finances these glorious misadventures, and people
with only the vaguest clue (if that) of how to run a school
get to play dress-up- and-make-believe for as long as the
money holds out.

Anyone who is looking for a teaching job should remember that
charter schools, by definition, are not bound by NEA
agreement or, really, anything at all.

This is also something to consider before SENDING your child
to a charter school.

That's right: Charter schools don't have to take CSAP,
demonstrate Adequate Yearly Progress, perform background
checks on their teachers, or even, in most cases, hire
teachers with appropriate certification!
