[QUOTE="Rotsne, post: 235074, member: 6326"] Charter schools can be the answer for many kids not functioning well in the ordinary school system. However, what is good for one kid is not good for others. Also you have to very carefully about regulation, economy etc. I found an article about a school where they had to keep the lights out because they couldn't afford the power bills: [URL]http://epsl.asu.edu/epru/articles/EPRU-0506-126-OWI.pdf[/URL] Fortunately regulaton is tighter in most places so parents can send their kids to school in a safe environment. We have charter schools here in Denmark too. Many are founded when towns close down many of the small schools. Parents then join in and found their own schools in order to keep the smaller communities alive. In Denmark there often is as much activity in schools after the students leave them as during the school period. They are used for meetings by various associations, clubs and for adult education. They are our community centers. I would certainly look into the nature of the charter school in my area if my kids did have problems in their present school. [/QUOTE]
