The topic of charter schools has become a part of this thread. (I like it when a thread goes along like a real discussion. The topics might meander a little or maybe a lot, but I don't consider that hijacking, just conversation.)
Anyway, for those who are interested in knowing more about charter schools (which do receive public funds, btw) this link is to the Charter Schools FAQ section from the Florida Department of Education site.
