132. What are the merits of charter schools?

They suck taxpayer money away from public schools, give it to private corporations, and achieve results that are no better, and in fact many times they are worse than what public schools achieve. Meanwhile charter schools allow the unions to be busted and teachers' salaries to be reduced even further, thus acting as a disincentive for quality candidates to go into teaching. Not to mention the disservice this does to our children.

Have I missed anything?
