As you read the articles, critically evaluate the arguments for and against charters. Do you believe the authors make valid arguments? If not, why not? In the discussion board, I do not want you to merely summarize the articles. Add your personal experiences if you think they are relevant. Several of you attended a charter as a youngster, so you may have a strong opinion on this topic. Of course, if there was an educational story in the press this week that caught your eye, you may also comment write about that too. Please provide the class with the reference and explain what the issue is if you choose to do this.
