Having taught for 31 years in the most dangerous city in the country, in one of the poorest performing high schools in the State, I agree with Jeff's assessment of the academic differences between the charter high school and my old public high school. One major difference is that in my district and most others in this State the students are much more polite and well behaved in the charter schools for the simple reason that IF THEY DO NOT BEHAVE OR DISOBEY THE DRESS CODE OR OTHER MYRIAD OF RULES THEY ARE EXPELLED AND SENT BACK TO THEIR SENDING SCHOOL (which would be my old school). HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!! and one which allows the charters to claim they put out much better behaved students.

Charter schools also get closed if they fail to perform. That's also a huge difference with most public schools.
