I’ve been watching them open and close for years. They’re “good in theory” but abused by the greedy, that’s all. My niece graduated from a fly-by-night – just in time too. That was back in 2008 or so. I started following the phenomenon around 1995 or and first heard her name. She got a bill passed in Michigan allowing for charter schools and I’d hear about them on 20/20 and 60 Minutes now and again, and internet as it was, I’d follow as well.
