This is an interesting article regarding school choice. School Choice is good. I created and owned a Charter School for 20 years. Parents should find schools that are the best fit for their children to succeed. Charter Schools are public schools that receive money from the state based on enrollment. As part of their agreement with the state, the school is to perform well academically and morally manage its financial affairs. Using public funds for private schools is a different matter. Unlike Charter Schools, Private schools have no accountability to the state, can charge tuition, can promote views (i.e. religious and political) that go against not for profit business guidelines and alienate people that do not have those views and can pick and choose their students. It is not sound public policy to use taxpayer funds to subsidize these educational institutions, no matter the goals of their leaders and the merits of their school programs.
