Parents are choosing charters, or charters taking students?

Entering into what is going to be an interesting 2020 for educational politics. I thought this article clarifies a hot phrase that is going to be thrown around, “charter schools steal students from districts”. Although it serves its emotional/political purposes, this statement is far from true. Parental ability to remove their children from educational systems that are failing to meet their academic needs is what is “stealing” students.
