I know that charter schools are better because the Repugnant party said so. If they aren't doing well it must be because we haven't yet gotten rid of the Department of Education. And, we have to get rid of all the public schools, then the charter, for profit, schools will be the best. Plus, they'll be even better when we allow them to charge tuition.
