Choice, Policy, and Charter Schools Alex Medler doesn't hesitate to endorse the whole notion of charter schools, as long as they are implemented with adequate accountability and are not regarded as a panacea. The surge of interest in forming charter schools is dominated by positives, he believes, not the least of which is an impressive renewed interest in public schooling demonstrated by parents and families. This is a plus in terms of the extra resources they offer, as well as the level of their general involvement. Another positive that he sees emerging from the charter schools movement is the opportunity to tailor public schools to fit different notions of public education. These schools fit not just into a context of choice and innovation, but also into a context of public schools not all looking the same.
Charter schools offer an opportunity for people to engage in really significant educational reform.
