Research has consistently found little or no difference in the academic performance between charters and their public school counterparts (Baker). In a study focusing on seven charter schools in eight different states, five had insignificant differences in math and reading, and two had small negative effects (Briggs). In another study done on a large…

When digging deeper into the charter school structure, many may inquire whether all charter schools are the same. While each charter school system shares similar qualities, such as the fact that they are all privately managed, that they are each constructed upon the basis of promoting independent thinking, and that they are all required to follow a particular set of state standards, it is important to understand that no two charter schools are the same. Under this charter school umbrella, a…

It was in this spirit that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms were established over a century later, entrenched in Canadian law. However, in our modern society, there still persists a struggle between two major groups: those who wish to enforce policies and those who wish freedom from any such enforcements. The Charter has formed the base around which both groups build their arguments. The task of balancing and deciding…
