First interesting idea. Won't happen.
Hillary's proposal to close failing public schools is the FIRST interesting idea by a non-Trump politician in 12 years. Trump has been producing plenty of specific solutions to real problems. Until today, all non-Trumps in "both" "parties" have been simply replaying one standard sentence.
The main advantage of charter schools is that they can be shut down when they fail. This motivates the admins to do the right thing. Public schools, partly by inertia and partly by Parkinson's Laws, have become permanent landmarks. Admins know this and perform accordingly.
If Hillary means what she says, there would be no real reason for separate charter schools. All educrats would be under pressure to perform.
I'm pretty sure she'll back off quickly. Union thugs will NOT allow this proposal. Here in Wash, the union thugs ordered their employees in the "supreme" "court" to get rid of charters, specifically because charters require teachers to get results. Intolerable, unacceptable, all options on the table, all options implemented.
