Unless charter schools are closed? Could we be any more blatant?

I don’t think private school teachers get paid very well. My teachers had been teaching for 40 years, their kids become public school teachers and we’re making more than their parents within 2 years

Private schools are not charter schools. Charter schools are public schools that are allowed to operate within an existing school district on a lottery system and outside the confines of the teachers unions. They have dramatically higher results for students and undermine the teachers unions so there's a concerted effort to have them shut down or prevented from opening. Thomas Sowell just finished a book about them.
