Columbus is nice. Only a 2 hour trip from Cleveland for when the Browns start playing good.

I think the situation is very confusing because a quick google search will find many articles that either say charter schools are better or worse than public.
The best I can make out is there is an argument that charter schools in urban areas do better than public schools in urban areas, while in suburban areas they do not.

Well that underscores my opinion that it's the demographics that make schools better or worse.I think the situation is very confusing because a quick google search will find many articles that either say charter schools are better or worse than public.

I don't think training is much different whether you work at JFK or Solon.
Or whether you got your teaching degree from Bowling Green or Akron U.
And partially in the Innercity any parent who takes the trouble to send their child to a charter school obviously cares more than the average single teenage welfare mother in the hood. Or trailer park for that matter.
That just means the kid has a head start before he gets to the public or the charter school.
One thing I'm not sure of, but I could look up, is whether or not public schools are beginning to require master's degrees.
And yes Osiris you get a big difference among websites and I chalk that up to politics.

I agree, demographics are a probably a big part of it. Ultimately I think its a decision best made at an extremely local level. Every town should do what is best for its demographic. My kid goes to a public STEAM school and he's flourishing there, so no complaints. I would not like to see funding taken away from it to support a charter school in our town. At the same time, it shouldn't keep kids in the inner-city from having a different type of school if it works better for them.

On the other hand taking money away from the inner city school to support A specialized STEM School...

Kids should be required to work for their schooling.

I love charter schools and home schooling, philosopically. Sure there are underperforming
charter and public schools. Our friend's kids in N.C. go to probably the best Christian
charter school in the state.
We are a free country - there isn't room for teacher's unions to acquire a monopolistic power
over our education system. Some want the power with the idea that they can socially engineer
in liberal fashion far more successfully if there weren't any charter schools and home schooling
was illegal. That German family that the obaMao bastards fight like hell to kick out of our country...
all they wanted was to home school their kids.
The teachers unions and liberal boards want to teach crossdressing, sex, and liberal viewpoints, etc... and
don't care about American history, patriotism for great reasons, math and science. Some of them want to teach
mmgw as abolute truth. It's like long term social engineering for some. They want to teach anti-gun ownership,
anti-Christianity, anti-family values.
That is what the anti-property tax battle is about. They don't have total power when they have to be held
accountable to the voters. If they could just get auto-funding from state and national levels, they can do and
be any damn thing they want to be, and nobody can stop them.
It's power they want. "they" referring to the haters of charter schools and homeschooling. Otherwise, there is
no reason to welcome competition for the kids' sakes. ALL KIDS deserve the very best education Americans
can give them. It's ulterior motives alone that cause liberals to fight things like charter schools, home schooling,
students praying by themselves, hunting tshirts, Christian tshirts, our Flag, patriotic American history.
Why would any school system not teach our Constitution, American history, but then teach about
only the bad things about our country's history? The left is going rabid in trying to enforce their liberal
slants on American kids. They can't get away with it much when there are alternatives to their schools
and how they stupidly run them.
The other point, is demographic. If you have good kids, why make them suffer because they have to attend
the local public school and be fighting to stay away from gangs, drugs, fights, etc? Parents MUST have
options.

The intimidation of Christian kids in public schools. This should never have had to
been fought.
We won.

Liberty Counsel
Mathew Staver, Founder and ChairmanA three-year legal battle closes with a win. Liberty Counsel has successfully represented Child Evangelism Fellowship Good News Clubs against the anti-religious policies of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) elementary schools.
Please see my update on this latest victory below — Mat.Local chapters of the Good News Club will reopen in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) elementary schools on February 2 now that the school district has changed its policy to ensure that religious groups, such as Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF), receive the same access and benefits to public facilities as non-religious groups.
The school district was previously providing free after-school access to non-religious community groups, such as the Boy Scouts, but imposed facility fees on CEF, resulting in the shutdown of its after-school, Christian character-education Good News Clubs.
In 2013, Liberty Counsel filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of CEF, seeking equal access to the public school facilities for Good News Clubs. Child Evangelism Fellowship won the three-year lawsuit. An Ohio federal district court found that CMSD violated CEF's constitutional rights and required the school district to change its facility use policies and pay $150,000 in damages and attorney's fees.
We celebrate the reopening of the Good News Clubs in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. It's been a three-year ordeal, but this victory for equal access, our Constitution, and Child Evangelism Fellowship is worth it.
+ + This is the second victory for Liberty Counsel and CEF in recent days.
CEF's after-school Good News Club can also now continue to distribute promotional flyers to K-5 students in the Cascade School District in Washington State.The Cascade School District prohibited distribution of "religious" flyers, stating it was a violation of Cascade School Board Policy. However, other nonprofit youth organizations such as Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Campfire Girls, YMCA, and YWCA were permitted to distribute flyers to K-5 students in the district.
After Liberty Counsel contacted the school superintendent, the Cascade School District reversed the previous directive and now allows the Good News Clubs to distribute flyers to the students. The school board also has eliminated their unconstitutional policy.Public schools cannot discriminate against Christian viewpoints and allow other organizations to promote their materials.
Liberty Counsel is proud to represent Child Evangelism Fellowship nationally and we have never lost a case regarding the Good News Clubs. Our defense of CEF can only take place because you make it happen. Without you, Good News Clubs and all Christian youth organizations meeting in public facilities could face discriminatory practices, as school systems quite often choose to surrender to aggressive anti-religion groups.Today when many public schools have become breeding grounds for religious intolerance, avenues for leftist indoctrination, and forums for transforming young people's cultural and moral standards, Child Evangelism Fellowship gives children a spiritual education while developing good moral character. More than 87 percent of school administrators say the Good News Clubs are a positive experience for their school.
We must continue demanding that our fundamental liberties be fully honored in government-controlled public schools – and stopping the Orwellian tactics leftists and pro-homosexual activists are using to undermine our values in tax-funded classrooms.
Liberty Counsel has long been on the forefront of defending religious liberty in the public schools.
God bless you as you help take back our tax-funded schools!
