Charter Schools
Why Charter School?
By Khrista Cendana
Why do you want to go to a charter school? My mom has
been telling me that if I were still in
school, she would have enrolled me in a charter school
rather than a public school. Are charter
schools better? What are the differences and options
when enrolling? I always thought that
charter schools help students more than public schools, is
that true? Are they clearly different or
are they the same? To find out the correct answers to
these questions, we need to dig a little bit
further.

I think it depends on what charter school you want to attend online or even physical. The ones I checked are
in California, Nevada and Ohio and have different requirements for the students to be able to learn online.
Moreover, it depends on the individual state to have ​Teachers Certified Or Not ​by the education commision.
Charter schools are run by nonprofits ( ​What Are Charter Schools ​) and are funded by the federal government
with the amount depending on how many students are enrolled.
Charter schools at the end are like ‘traditional’ schools, and they differ from one another like any
other school does, depending on their sizes, number of students and state regulations. If I were
looking for either a public or charter school, I may go for charter school for my kid because it has
fewer students. It’s up to you, however, to choose what school is good for your children.
