9. Charter schools are not "privitized"...
they are public entities. They can not charge tuition - they are paid by the federal and state governments on a "per pupil" basis. They are subject to the same oversight as conventional public schools. Perhaps the isolated problems are due more to poor oversight. A few examples of failed charter schools doesn't make them all BAD anymore than it makes all conventional public schools GOOD.
