When you say "many" charter schools are bad how many is that? The dictionary defines many as more or most. Are you saying of the 195 charters in Texas that most are undeserving of facilities funding and are plagued with mismanagement? Are charters that the TEA and Texas Center for Education Research report or doing better with At-Risk youth than traditional and standard charter schools those "low-performing" schools that should be closed? I challenge you to tell the whole story! When "my daughter" is raped and beaten, then uses drugs to cover her pain and shame, she might get behind in school and need the help of one of those "low-performing" charter schools that arent afraid to take her failing school performance and help her through the rough time. She might not have that school though because SB4 will close it or maybe the building will just be too run down for you because all the facility money will go to those high performing kiddos!
