Charter schools vs vouchers

Tell me why I’m wrong.

I’d like to argue that vouchers are a better idea than charters IF

  1. They have a large endowment
  2. They subsidize the tuition for students who can’t afford the tuition that the voucher doesn’t cover
  3. They are subject to the same grading system that the public schools are subject to. This could also help to revamp the testing system to be more meaningful.
  4. They are subject to the same non-discrimination laws as the public schools—they can’t have a RFRA type exemption.

Charter schools keep asking for more and more money. They are now competing for the same exact dollars that fund the public schools. When I say public schools, I mean the real public schools.

Here’s an example of a charter school conglomerate that

1. Closed a charter school located at a place where the grifters weren’t profiting from the lease payments. They gave the parents of the students one day notice before they closed

2. They are expanding in Jacksonville

3. The people (who seem to me to be grifters) went to a school board meeting advocating for public schools to be closed. Someone told me this guy is an employee of the charter school mentioned in item #2.

Here’s an example of a private school that I think meets the criteria I mentioned above:
