This is not a win by itself.

Some of the charter schools have been disasters as well.

It still gets down to parents taking responsibility for holding schools accountable.

You may be right about other states but in MI, this is the best thing that could have happened. Our local districts are not the best and with a cap on the charters, there is no competition between them. My charter is great but knows that it can get away with the barest minimum because of the waiting lists to get in.
Now they will have to offer more and the district schools will improve from the competition as well.
