Are charter schools useless?

[MADem]

1. I think they are like the little girl with the little curl...!

There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.

And when she was good,
She was very, VERY good!

But when she was bad
She was HORRID!

When they're good, they are very very good, and when they're bad....well, they may not always be horrid, but they're pretty lousy.

I am a fan of public schools, myself. I like certified teachers. I wish we'd invest more in public schools on a national level...but that would butt up against "states' rights." I guess every state has a "right" to produce morons, depending on the tax base in that particular community....
