33. You are right in some cases

Look at it this way

If a school has been bad for 10-20 years like most poor performing urban schools the damage is already done. Their obviously is little accountability in that system even if it is public because if there was improvement would have been made or new options tried. As it stands now those children are actively being failed by the current system.

I worked with one as a volunteer mentor (I had 2 young men that I worked with over a 2 year stretch as a key component like you said is having an active involved adovcate for the child these boys mothers were active but their work schedule prevented them from attending many functions and meetings that's another place the mentors stepped in to help) that was privately funded (an older persons estate who passed funded it)for the first 5 years it was open and focused on the most add risk and need students. Their results were amazing and now that the state has expanded charter schools they are funded by a combination of both private funding and public money.

This school is so effective many times judges work with teen offenders and get them enrolled there as their success rate is far higher than the publics alternative behavior school.

My point is while people debate charter vs public vs more funding vs ........ Urban kids are failing at an incredibly high rate many areas with less than 50% minority graduation from high school and the numbers for black males specifically are much worse.
