But I am very much against the horrible way so-called "school choice" was implemented in Ohio. Charter schools should always be run by experienced educators. And they should never be operated for profit or allow students to fail academically. Out state's horrible lack of oversight has allowed all of this to happen. I’m not against all charter schools.

However I notice that you may be blinded by your bias against Charter Schools. Both systems, Charter and Government have schools and people that give them a bad name. Both systems have excellent schools that meet the needs of parents as they choose what is the best way to educate and create opportunities for their children. If we could get past all the politics, we could create the best educational system for our State. However this will never happen unless we put our priorities in order. The top priority should be what is best for the children. And who knows what is best for the child, the parent or the state. I side with the parent. My hope is that someday the money will follow the student. This way the parents will choose what is the best for their child. Then only the best will survive.
