Well don't bother trying in Texas. Charter schools in Texas are held to the same accountability standards as public school and kids in charter schools take the statewide TAKS tests and are rated right alongside public schools.

And here in Texas kids in charter schools cost $1200 LESS then kids in public school so this is SAVING our state some money.

And they don't hesitate to close em down either.

Dude, I am not opening a charter school.

Do you think that pledging to capitalism is acceptable or not? And if you do think that it is acceptable: WHY?
