[zz] You might be a charter school fan ...
If every time your car gets too full of fast food wrappers and empty drink
cans, you go buy a new car (and kept the old one so you can make payments on
both), you might be a charter school fan.
If ice cream cones cost a dollar and you only have 75 cents, so you decide
the solution is to buy three, you might be a charter school fan.
If you think it's a shame that some schools have gotten worse since they let
Those People in, you might be a charter school fan.
If you think a great way to build grit in children is to entrust their care
to an institution that might close at any time with no warning, you might be
a charter school fan.
If you think anybody can be a great teacher as long as they teach out of the
right book, you might be a charter school fan.
If you think the trouble with democracy is that it allows too many of the
wrong people to vote, you might be a charter school fan.
If you think the best way to fix a crumbling bridge is to let private
companies all build bridges up and down the river, you might be a charter
school fan. If you think they should all do it with the same total money
budgeted for the original bridge, you definitely might be a charter school
fan.
If you think taxpayers should not get to elect the people who decide what to
do with taxpayer dollars, you might be a charter school fan.
If you think lifeboats and fire fighters should only rescue the worthy from
peril, you might be a charter school fan.
If you think the operation of education is best left to hedge fund managers,
you might be a charter school fan.
If you think competition has made McDonald's, Microsoft, Netscape, America
On Line, and Myspace great, you might be a charter school fan.
If you think rules are for suckers and little people, you might be a charter
school fan.
Of course, if you've thought for years that fully funded charters could be a
way to foster rich variety and creativity while working as partners with
public schools, you might also be a charter school fan. Just a very lonely
one at the moment.
