Charter -- only good for rural small towns that want to avoid the image of "segregated" and "not giving blacks a chance". If I am middle-class or above, there's just no way I send my child to one. Also, don't they have similar rules like Section 8 Housing? I don't know the whole process like I did when they became a splash some ten years ago. They also need to be well-funded and have enough students to serve as a Charter with options of a public and a nearby private (Delhi for instance) school. Mississippi has many that thrive, but look who I'm talking about here. I would not send my child to one, but it all depends on where I am living.
Mississippi needs them because they're about 70 percent rural and every small town -- the tons that the state has -- has/had a public and a private school. When segregation became law, towns like Canton and Clarksdale converted any building they could (tent factory in Canton, i.e.) into a private school. If one was black and lower-class, it only made sense to go to a public school. Now, Charters give them a 2nd option if the child can get in. Still, 99/100 white families in MS who live at or slightly above means will continue with private education and oddly enough, the poor/lower class whites who attend public school will stay put. That state will always have those issues. Charter schools in MS are just as minority-filled as public.
Pretty much.
