W. Patric Gregory explores why we should award more funding to charter education.

1. The Importance of Funding
Charter Schools

2. Educational Quality
Charter schools exist to provide every child with a quality education. This means
that charter schools hold themselves to a higher standard than most public
schools. Charter schools only stay up and running for the students if these
standards are met on a yearly basis.
Accountability is a foundation that charter schools operate on. If the charter
school in question does not perform up to the standards that are set by the state
then it will close down. That is why many charter schools outperform the rest of
the schools in their playing field. They continuously perform to their highest level,
which in turn keeps them open to continue to serve the children.

3. Focusing on the kids
Unlike district public schools where the children are zoned to a school based on
where they live, charter schools are run on the choice of the parents that want
their children to attend the school. This gives the parents the freedom to choose
the school that they believe is the best fit for their child.
Like the parents, teachers also have the choice to choose to work at charter
schools where they believe their skill set will help serve the children the best.

4. Providing a safe community
Since charter schools do not receive the same amount of funding that district
public schools receive, many times the charter schools will work with local
businesses and other organizations to provide resources for the children.
This helps bring the community together as they are coming together to serve
the same purpose of helping the children.
