It's common sense. You're literally separating education quality based on privilege and class. I feel we all should start on equal footing and maybe some of the money that goes into the charter funding could better be spent towards increasing standards of public, voting in those who do, etc.

Charter schools are less effective than regular public schools as only 32 percent of charter school students performed better than their public school counterparts.

According to a comprehensive study by the Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO) at Stanford University, which analyzed charter school performance across 41 states, 27% of charter schools performed worse than traditional public schools in reading, while 19% performed better. In math, 29% of charter schools performed worse, and 31% performed better. The remaining schools showed no significant difference.

the average annual day school tuition in Canada is $21,000, while boarding schools are closer to $52,000

that charter schools by themselves solve nothing. They are a delivery system not a real change. They are modeled in some ways after existing parochial schools, without the religious aspect and they are sold to people by making similar claims, that is they offer better discipline than a typical urban public school. They are cheaper mostly because they have teachers with low seniority and they seem to be good at avoiding children with special needs.
