According to what I read on these online forums, parents rely on a TON of actual data to evaluate prospective universities for their children. They do NOT just ask their neighbor - gosh did your kid like that school? They rely on evidence. That is what I’m talking about and I think I was clear. Charters are not in the business of collecting data that can be used in any objective way for parents to evaluate those schools.
As I mentioned in my very post for this thread - this is all politics. It is, however, not useful to tell me that you know how I think when you perceive me to be defending public schools. Yes I categorize myself as a liberal. FYI, liberals are as heterogeneous a group as are conservatives. Life is complicated.
