From our friends at RedefinEd:
“Calls to increase the control that parents have over their child’s educational opportunities often garner strong reactions from both advocates and skeptics. One common refrain from those that fear the expansion of charter schools is that efforts to redirect funding to these schools will “dismantle” the traditional district school system.
This winner-take-all mentality, where public schools “lose” and charters “win” is not only hurting our children; it’s a fundamental misunderstanding of the benefits of educational competition.”
