Devil's Advocate 🙋 They only reference 1 study at pro-charter and the other study reference was just about funding. Also Reason is a known libertarian publication so they'll want to skew things to discredit public education. US Parents need to perform due diligence for what's best for their kid; one doesn't fit all

i was a teacher & have a M.Ed so i’m pro fantastic public schools. the problem is that’s not the case very often. parents have gone to jail trying to send their kids to better schools when their address falls outside the catchment area. that’s shocking. lower income households are most affected.

Agreed. This is a terrible study since most public schools have infrastructure decades or more old compared to new infrastructure of charter schools. On top of that kids that go to charters in general have more engaged parents. You have to compare charters to PS’s that don’t have a charter near by.
