Charter schools are for-profit schools. In Ohio they are a scam to put money into the pockets of their owners, rich Republican donors. And their test scores are worse than in poor public school neighborhoods! I don't see how you can say that "charter schools are doing a better job of teaching our kids." Charter schools are in it for as much money as they can siphon from public schools. Public schools' teachers certainly aren't in it for the money, but for the students. Big difference! Major difference in incentive, too. Money over a children's education.
