Sure , but meanwhile kids are without a school for when their ' s closes in November unexpectedly . Or they have to keep going school to school to find the right one , the kid has no consistency , can ' t make longterm friends , etc . Children ' s education is not something we can leave up to the whims of the market . It ' s not a fucking product . But that would mean heavily regulating charters , which kind of defeats the purpose of charters . Not to mention the fact that not everyone can go to charters , even if it is subsidized or there ' s vouchers or whatever . For one , the if there isn ' t a bus to and from , or daycare provided , some poorer families can ' t do it even if the school is technically free . But regardless , if everyone moves from public to charter , the charters have essentially just become pubic schools anyone . One of the draws of many charter or private schools is small class sizes . That goes away when anyone is allowed to go there , meaning the schools are no different anyway . Or , the alternative is some kids have to stay in public school , so essentially all these people saying public schools are failing kids have said sorry fuckers to whatever percent don ' t get to go to charters . And that ' s fucked . I highly recommend this John Oliver video on charters lhtSPGAY 7 I
