  1. Very interseting piece. I live in NJ, and I am a special education teacher at a Charter school. Eye opeing to say the least. I didnt realize that even the President believes and affirms the need for Charter schools.

  2. Some people believe so much in charter schools that they whitewash reports on charter schools so that the report makes charters look more appealing than they really are. Gee, I wonder who that could be?
