A Russian bloc has been a thing since time immemorial . I can ' t think of any point in EvE where there wasn ' t some group of Russians on the map somewhere running some kind of botting , farming or renting empire . You could kick them out but they ' d just crop up elsewhere . It ' s been a thing for so long that most people have just stopped paying much notice to them . You just notice some Russians on the map , shrug and get on with your day . <| sep |> The thing about charters , as you were getting at , is that the quality very much depends on the individual school . In a large sense district schools are the same . I work in an amazing charter school in Florida . It ' s run well , administration is in top of their game , teachers are expected to be truly effective not just in a did your kids pass he state test way , and the kids are held to high expectations . It works amazing and parents are on board . They know the alternative to the charter is a god awful district school that has substandard education and safety issues . But you know , its district run so it won ' t be shuttered .
