Would you send your child to a charter school?

A charter school is defined as being 'a public school operated independently of the local school board, often with a curriculum and educational philosophy different from the other schools in the system.' 'Different charter schools can be for music education, learning a second language, or learning a particular field. They are different from other public schools in the sense that teachers and parents have more say in what their kids are learning. In traditional public schools, teachers and parents must abide by rules established by a school board, but in charter schools, parents and teachers have more of a say in how money is spent and what children are taught. This often involves parents more in a child's education, because parents might decide that they'd rather spend their money on new band equipment rather than on a cooking staff. Parents might then volunteer their time as cooks in order to compensate for the money. '
