Florida Charter Schools--good article/criticism.

2. The results will largely depend on the charter school.

I knew one which was strict as hell. Parents were required to attend all parents meetings. If they missed three in a year, their children were expelled. All parents were required to perform voluntary services.

It was as good, if not better than a public school. However, I don't think that many people who are opening up charters are going in with as effective a plan.

However, this is something that should be judged by statistics. Not by individual anecdote. The problem is, that charters aren't getting the same kind of scrutiny given to public schools.
