contracted out for profit charter schools?

I said in an earlier response I'm open to the idea of public-run or non-profit charters, but for profit ones are a symptom of and will lead to more of the epic corruption that has led to our recent wars, collapse of Wall Street, health insurance that let's people die, and a mortgage industry that gives out mortgages that they know they will foreclose on.

All of those happened because the industries involved bought our elected officials.

If we start giving contracts to private companies for public education it will inevitably lead to the vicious circle of campaign donations leading to contracts leading to more campaign donations and little accountability for outcome or waste.
