Poor kids usually get a shit education because they live in shit areas.
In some places there are too many kids for the poor/bad schools so there are charter schools
Not being "Public" schools, they get some funding from "Vouchers" this is on a headcount basis
Its a complicated mess and its run by over educated idiots in many cases, the entire school system, not just charters
A lot of parents with $ send their kids to private schools and they also have to pay school taxes, something wrong in that IMHO
Some parents of modest means can also get into charter schools for many reasons, bad schools, not enough space, not enough $ in the regular public school.
Take a look at the local school boards, see how many multiple master and doctorates there are but they can't manage their way out of a paper bag
I listen to the Miami School board monthly meetings here on NPR and although it has improved Vastly since I got here, it is still appaling.
Check out your local and ask yourself, should all those smart people not be able to turn out a better product?
