Reply #18: It's very, very simple

Regardless of whether a charter school receives public money or not, it is a school, owned by a private entity or individual. It isn't owned by the local government or other such community entity. Therefore, it is a private school.

And frankly, since it has been shown that charter schools do no better than public schools in educating out children, they really can't help us "find" anything. All they do is suck up money to the private sector, away from our already desperate for money public schools.
