Fabio Rojas concludes Those Pesky Charter School Reports with this:
In my opinion, fans and critics miss the best thing about charter schools — bad schools close. Since people are under no obligation to attend these schools, they will actually close if they are poorly managed and do a disservice to their students. Critics see a closed charter school as a victory. Yes, it is a victory, but not for charter school opponents. It is a victory for education in general — a poorly run institution has stopped operating, something you rarely see in other schools.
