Very well done.

Selective admission makes Charter too elite, critics say. This is absurd. These schools are not discriminating on the basis or race, sex, creed or color. The students who do not make the cut have other options that are equal to or even superior to charter schools. I fully admit my bias against government schools. That said, this is not the answer. The educrats are so desparate to save their income base they will stop at nothing to keep our kids imprisoned in their schools and keep their jobs safe. Schools operate on a budget based on the number of students. Parents that send their kids to parochial or private schools still have to pay the associated taxes for education but that money does not make it to the school system. Initially, I thought the increase in parents withdrawing from public education in favor of private, parochial or homeschooling was a boon to the education of Americans. Now it is apparent the Teachers Unions will kill the only two of those they can. Homeschooling and Charter schools. They will drown homeschooling parents in paperwork and testing and raise the bar high enough that your average parent will not be able to keep up and send them back to government schools. Charter schools will be killed in the courts. Death by a thousand cuts. Vouchers are not going to happen unless someone can get in front of the USSC and settle this. I suspect that the Roberts Court, as conservative as it is, will kick any such case back to the state level. In my opinion, rightly so.

The net result will be more kids forced into a school system that neither they, nor their parents want and only the affluent will be able to afford private schools.
