The Clinton administration is one of the chief advocates of the charter school movement, but it has proven to be a politically popular education reform for both Democrats and Republicans. Yet, even as more charter schools are built, a growing number of education experts are questioning the effectiveness of this alternative to traditional public schools. Both presidential candidates have lent their support for charter schools. The individuals who obtain a charter are granted license to run the school as they see fit.
