I don't understand the publicly funded private school concept. Why are charter schools created? And do the parents still have to pay?
Money comes from the state just like a District School. So here in MI, each child accounts for 7500.00 to the school. A private company educates the children. If they can do it for 3000.00 per child, the rest is profit. (Homeschooling, I do it on 300.00 a year)
Not a lot of unions in a Charter so they aren’t paying the janitor 14.00 an hour. Most times the teachers are paid less as well.
It is a GREAT education. Everyone I know that took their kids out of charters and put them into the District schools found that they were well ahead of their peers.
Basically that makes it like the USPS and AmTrack.
It’s not unusual, actually.
