Its bigger than the "unruly" (none / 0) (#2)

kids.

One of the reasons Charter schools work is that they do not apply a one size fits all template to the kids' education. Some schools might better serve certain individuals more than others.

The parents who are deciding that it is important to look at other schools probably have a higher level of interest in the education of their kids, so I would think that the most "unruly" would not be seeking a change, as the ones with the parents most involved are.

i was talking with a superintendent of a very well to do school district recently - he wasn't concerned about this -- he said that either a district has good management who put in place systems to deal with "unruly kids" or they don't. There's certainly been an education paradigm for decades re: "local schools"...people wax nostalgic about kids walking to their local school (as if school buses aren't needed)...and that all kids in their schools are all well-behaved and brilliant. Sorry -- show me one district that wasn't complaining about the small 3% belt-tightening we did this year...and yet they don't want $7500 to fill an empty seat from a child whose parent will drive them 10 or 20 miles each day? I'm still undecided...but I don't think much of the debate is mired in the 1960s currently.
