Public Education versus Charter Education

Introduction

Education in the United States of America has a long history. Each and every generation of U.S inhabitants has been dependent on schools not only to educate children but also impart fundamental knowledge and lessons that will assist them in fulfilling their future responsibilities. Some children were systematically denied or hindered from receiving a quality education whether because of their gender, race, societal status, religion, or some other irrelevant factor. The legacy of the education system in the U.S should not be perceived as a linear collective history that all and sundry experienced, regardless of their background (Hammond, 2005).

Remains that such a decrease could result in the closure of private schools require students to integrate into the public network, which would increase operating expenses. Tactics at the same time reduce the government's ability to exercise control over private schools. In short, not so easy to change the mode of operation without jeopardizing the security of all provide a quality education.
