If every time your car gets too full of fast food wrappers and empty drink

the solution is to buy three, you might be a charter school fan.
If you think it's a shame that some schools have gotten worse since they let
Those People in, you might be a charter school fan.
If you think a great way to build grit in children is to entrust their care
to an institution that might close at any time with no warning, you might be
a charter school fan.

If you think the trouble with democracy is that it allows too many of the
wrong people to vote, you might be a charter school fan.
If you think the best way to fix a crumbling bridge is to let private
companies all build bridges up and down the river, you might be a charter
school fan. If you think they should all do it with the same total money

fan.

school fan.
Of course, if you've thought for years that fully funded charters could be a
way to foster rich variety and creativity while working as partners with
public schools, you might also be a charter school fan. Just a very lonely
one at the moment.
