- What's the difference between a charter school and a public school?
If you're deciding on public school options for your child this video will help. You'll learn some of the similarities and differences between the two school types. Charter schools may vary from state to state. This information is based upon personal experience, knowledge and the research I did on public schools in the state of Texas

I have 4 children in charter schools. 1 of the schools that my kids are in is extremely difficult to get into. It is considered a blue ribbon school and has won awards for their achievements.
I prefer Catholic schools, however. Catholic schools have many of the advantages of charter schools with a smaller student population than either charter schools or public schools. They also teach from a faith based perspective and give a reason why the children should practice virtue. I have 2 in Catholic school. While it is expensive, it is worth the cost.
Just subscribed! My son went to public school until end of first grade. I home schooled him for the last two years and now we are trying a charter school. Thanks for the information!
Thanks and have a great school year!
@@hollyrivers9955 Thank you! You too!
This is a good video, but it has many inaccuracies. Charter school laws vary from state to state, especially pertaining to teacher, staff, and administration qualifications. Many states do not require certified teachers. Additionally, the school board is not elected, which can lead to issues, including nepotism and exclusivity. There are many other issues as well, especially pertaining to oversight, employee turnover, financial disclosure, and expectations for behavior and academics.
Charter schools hand pick who can enroll, so when you deny admission due to behavior or prior grades, it's easy to have a higher achieving student population.
Hey thanks for explaining this so well
You bet! I've noticed charter schools have really taken off in the last year. So many have opened.
Homeschooling is usually the best most of the spelling bee contest homeschoolers beat everybody out then it’s Catholic schools because 2+24 in a Catholic school then it’s charter school generally speaking generally speaking this is the order
Very good info, thanks for this video!
Glad it was helpful!
love your videos!
Thank you!!
That’s just true, but Catholic schools got a higher rate then charter schools generally speaking generally speaking, depends on the state
Not another charter school apologist.
You answered your own question(s) between 12-15 seconds into the video.
Charter schools have an enrollment limit because they "cherry pick" the best and brightest students from the traditional public schools while denying enrollment to any problem students (e.g., disciplinary problems). This way, they increase their odds of succeeding and then they want to compare themselves to traditional public schools. Why do you see charter schools only in minority and low income communities? You won't see them where more affluent, educated people live. Charter schools don't have to follow the same rules and regulations as traditional or regular public schools. The hands of the traditional public schools are tied behind their back, and then proponents of charter schools want to compare the two. Why would you relax standards for charter schools and not regular public schools? It sounds like some of the rules and regulations are a hindrance to academic achievement. It sounds like someone wants to "manufacture' the success of charter schools. Charter schools also have a RACIST history. They were originally intended as a way to segregate different races of people. Guess who attended the first charter schools? Not Black people. Not minorities. You got it, Einstein! Try supporting your traditional public schools and teachers the same way you support these scams and gimmicks. Charter schools are a way for investors to make $$$$$$$. Some people believe anything that is placed before them. Why is a Black woman in this video? You've got it again, Einstein!
That is a complete lie. Charter schools cannot “Cherry Pick” their students. Their students get admission via a lottery. Our Public schools are a complete embarrassment. Many of the kids coming out of public schools are functionally illiterate will never succeed. Charter schools give parents a choice. Why do 40% of public school teachers send their kids to private schools?
Your response fails to take so many things into account. You call for more resources for public schools to improve their standard, when Charters schools do it for less than half and churn out better results. Two, Charters exist in cities because cities have larger populations. The sole reason why Charters are even a thing is because inner city public education has failed. This is even more evident when making a comparison with their suburb counterparts. Most Charters don't even require any type of admission exam, and selection is done by lottery. I find it hilarious that you want to continue funding public schools with tax payer money, when they continously fail at their job and have aided in the poverty that many inner city kids face today. I will ask you one question: How much "support" do public schools need? Because they continously ask for more and more of it. What amount will satisfy this need? I fail to see how making a profit off of education is a bad thing (think of the best universities in the world). These schools only make money when they satisfy their investors; meaning their students MUST get good scores. The school will in return provide all the means to help them succeed. It becomes a requirement for the school to ensure their students success to prevent them from losing money. Before I conclude, I believe their is one stark distinction between Charters and Public Schools: Bad Charters Schools close, while bad Public Schools remain. Lastly, what does this have to do with her being Black???
@@RussellBWalker They absolutely have methods that they use to cherry pick students. While they are not actually allowed to deny admission to any students, they put other barriers in place which result in a type of cherry picking. For example, at least here in Florida charter schools are not required to provide bus transportation to their schools. This is an absolute barrier to entry for any family that either does not have a method of transportation or for working parents that are not available to do drop off & pick up during the day, thus lower income families can be shut out of the school. They often have expensive uniform requirements which results in similar barriers. While a public school is required to meet the needs of all students including those with special needs, a charter school does not have to make the same accommodations and special needs students often end up back in public schools as suggested by their charter schools. I know of multiple instances where a charter school in my area has told parents that the school is not a "good fit" for their children because they are not performing well enough on progress monitoring tests. All of these are examples of methods that many charters (particularly the large for-profit charter school networks) cherry pick their students in order to eliminate the traditionally lower-achieving student populations.
There is no empirical data to support charter schools actually making students better prepared for collegiate success. NONE.
Why do you think hacks like the Walton family (Wal-Mart) give so much money to this junk? They hate unions, and charters dismantle them
@@J.S.3259 the only empirical Dara they have compares standardized test scores. Public schools come out ahead.
Can whites join the lottery?
Charter Schools are open to all that live within their chartered area boundaries. I know where I live several expand across many counties and cities.
"Homeschooling in the United States of America constitutes the education of about 3.4% of U.S. students (approximately 2 million students) as of 2012. The number of homeschoolers in the United States has increased steadily over the past few decades since the end of the 20th Century.
In the United States, the Supreme Court has ruled that parents have a fundamental Right to direct the education of their children. The Right to homeschool is not frequently questioned in Court, but the amount of State regulation and help that can or should be expected continues to be subject to legal debate.
United States Supreme Court precedent appears to favor educational choice, as long as States set standards."
Great share! I recently heard the numbers are so much higher now. Check out the US Census Household Pulse Survey. The Census Website says, homeschool shows "an increase of 5.6 percentage points and a doubling of U.S. households that were homeschooling at the start of the 2020-2021 school year compared to the prior year."
