Charter Schools v. the Status Quo: Which Will Succeed?

Bierlein, Louann; Bateman, Mark

International Journal of Educational Reform, v5 n2 p159-68 Apr 1996

Examines the conceptual underpinnings of charter schools, their appeal to reformers, and the resistance to their implementation. The charter-school movement seems promising but will probably founder, due to inadequate financial support, special interest groups' lobbying efforts, and lack of an entrepreneurial spirit among educators.
