But you are painting a broader picture than that. What you call basically reinventing the system. Talk about the difference between Charter Schools and reinventing the system. We should be clear about what a Charter School is first because it turns out they say half of america doesnt know what they are so it is run independently of the district usually by a Nonprofit Organization and its usually a school of choice but it doesnt have to follow all of the district and state rules.

Guest you know previously to 1830 we did not have Public Schools in the United States as we would conceive of them today. It was up to individual groups of neighbors perhaps churches to come together and start schools if that was something that they wanted to do.
