Reply to comment by [deleted] in ELI5 what is the benefit of a charter school vs regular public schools? How do they differ? by [deleted]

That is completely false. Charter schools are public schools and can not pick and choose students. They enroll based on a lottery and must adhere to all state and federal mandates.

Not in Chicago they don’t. I worked in CPS for a few years and all the SPED and behavior students were kicked back to us. Hell I remember a couple of my students couldn’t get in as their IEP’s indicated they were too low functioning.

I didn't make any claims at all about how students enroll in a charter school. The claim is that charter schools show success compared to public schools because they enforce academic and behavior standards that regular public schools can't enforce. In the rare situations where charter schools don't do this, they perform no better (and sometimes worse) than regular public schools.
