The Charter School Debate
from takepart.com
Comment from the contributor:
Although charter schools are supported by many parents, teachers, and students who believe in the long term benefits provided by charter schooling, there is definitely another side to the debate.
Despite the money put aside in the government stimulus plan for funding charter schools, teacher unions often oppose charter schools because of the insecure contracts provided for teachers.
Additionally, many believe that charter schools are an burden to state and local budgets, questioning where all the money goes, and maintaining that charter schols only take money away from public schools in need.
