It not only still gets down to parents taking responsibility but also the fact that you get what you pay for.
Charter schools will still be underfunded, especially if money comes from state legislatures, and "teachers" will be underpaid.
One immediate result of No Child Left Behind is that the uncertified, horrible teachers that will be forced to leave public education because of their inability to pass the Praxis (re.98.6) test and will go to the charter schools where such restrictions will not exist.
Teachers will be underpaid, they now make less than municipal garbage men, and not be able to speak, walk, talk or think in their assigned subject area.
Charter schools: The "answer" to Public Education!?

Why would the charter schools hire them?

In Michigan, Charters are public schools. The teachers in the charters must meet any criteria that the public school teachers do.
That's why they are called "Public School Academies".
