All the same laws apply to charters. They must hire certified teachers, take the MEAP test, etc. Charter schools are different in that their development teams can select and shape curriculum, philosophy and environment. Charter schools are innovative. Charter schools are creating an environment where students are so enthusiastic they don't want to miss a day.
Charter schools are successful.
Students are eager to learn. They stay in school. They go on to college. They feel safe. They believe in themselves.
