nclusion, I believe that charter schools are an excellent idea. It is about time schools are run more like a business. Schools are in the business of producing the best quality student it can, but until now really did not have to prove it to anyone but the government and their standards are not that high. These new charter schools will have to answer to the customers. This will raise the quality level. Now that I have said this, why hasn't Arkansas jumped on the band wagon? Legislation has been passed approving it and schools have applied for it, so where are they. I believe the hang up is with the Arkansas Department of Education. Even though legislation says we can have them, the powers that be up in Little Rock are against charter schools and will do anything to prevent them from happening....
