[quote=Rhett]In my opinion, neither of them use a method that could scale to all public schools. The premise, stated or not, is that if you get enough students from disadvantaged situations to succeed, it would propagate out to the entire community.

I agree that it won’t make every kids from poor area succeed. However, with these charter schools, the kids who want to succeed will have a school that will help them succeed vs being stuck in their failing schools.
