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

My moms a teacher, and she has gotten a few kids from charter schools.

They are almost always behind the regular curriculum, and they almost always have to be retaught things that other kids don’t need.

Now granted that may just be multiple bias being seen, but from my moms experiences, charter schools here suck educationally compared to public schools

I think that there's a tendency for students who are not succeeding to be moved out of whatever school system they're in to the alternative in hopes of better results.

I 100% believe your mom's experience is true. However, it's the same as my experience as a charter school teacher when we get new students from the public school.
