For this project I will be focusing on charter schools. Questions that I want to receive answers to include:
• Why and when did charter schools come into existence?
• How are they the same and how do they differ from public schools?
• Are charter schools more or less effective than public schools? How is effectiveness judged comparatively?
• What funds do they receive from the government and how are these schools regulated?
• What are their demographics like? How do they handle special education students?
I personally believe charter schools are unnecessary, but they have sprung up and become more popular as media and politicians how denounced the public school system. I think the general population needs to be aware of the answers to the questions asked above and forced to analyze whether charter schools are really a good choice for their children or not.
