What are charter schools?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer:
Between 1991 and 1995 twelve states passed statutes permitting a form of public education popularly known as "charter schools." A recent GAO report notes that as of the first of this year 134 charter schools have been established across the country. But considerable uncertainty exists as to what charter schools are. Advocates consider them an exciting innovation promoting local control of public schools; opponents contend that charter schools are actually private schools that will destroy our system of public education.
