They cry and whine about wanting charter schools and then they turn around and abuse the money they receive for them. My god, they are so predictable. You know that charter schools might actually work if they really took them seriously and actually tried to educate children - all children. But they can't handle it, can they. They get this idea that government money is free money and spend it so irresponsibly. So predictable.
