Right. The general trends are national, but specific States
and school districts do vary wildly.

And yes, definition of 'charter school' and corrosive

  I read the study and, to me at least, it is rather confusing in that
it refers to"days" to value the schools. Does that mean that  one
school  is open for more days then the other? One school assigns more
home work then another? ????
 

Saw that. One of those metrics only a myopic factotum in some insular subset of an industry would dream up.
SAT scores, anyone?
Earnings five years out?
There are many other metrics which would be useful to parents and taxpayers for meaningful evaluation.
