I'm no expert in the field, or have personal experience other than as an observing parent/grandparent and as a volunteer.. But for all sorts of reasons the education system in this country has been failing for decades, to which it seems Charter Schools attempts (in general) to address, in a manner of speaking.

IMO, It does no service to the public to ignore the root causes and issues plaguing the public school system across the country vis a vis blanket demonization of educators who really are dedicated to changing this paradigm.
