1. I can't help because I'm not against Public Charter Schools...

Or magnet schools, or schools within schools.

But I am against private charter schools.

In my neck of the woods, many of the charter schools provide better environments than their counterpart district high schools.

For people like Sara, for example, a very oversized girl who people would call homely or ugly, one charter school saved her from the bullies at her traditional high school.

For Riley, to take another example, the bullies at a different school would have driven him to suicide. Riley is a special needs kid without an IEP, so can't get services.

I'm sure others who visit this forum will be able to help you, however.
