First sentence: The charter school movement's ability to capture the imagination and support of a broad and influential spectrum of American society-from grassroots community groups to Fortune 500 executives, from politicians to parents-is a testament not only to the power of the charter school idea itself but also to the gravity of the problems, both real and imagined, that the movement's champions promised that charter schools would solve.
