Note there are also clauses in the Constitution by which we can get

Do Not Give Up Hope.
-- Bush Crime Family Is the "Mountain of Corruption" on which all the
other molehills live(dating back to granpappy Prescott Bush's
patnership with Adolph Hitler) ... it is a symbiotic coupling, cut off
the head of the serpent and the culture of corruption surrounding and
supporting Bush Crime Family will fade. NOVEMBER IS A REFERENDUM ON
IMPEACHMENT OF THE BUSH CRIME FAMILY...do your part to save mankind...
vote Democrat (or if the Green Candidate is winning vote Green)
Karl Rove exposed, thus destroying, a legitimate undercover CIA
operation that was protecting the U.S. and the world from black market
nuclear weapons... WHY? because they had proven that Bush was lying
about WMD's in Iraq before the 2004 elections. Karl Rove, one of the
main people who tells Bush what to say(everyone knows Bush is dumb as a
rock) is guilty of TREASON.

From a New York Times editorial, 8/27/06:

Exploding the Charter School Myth
A federal study showing that fourth graders in charter schools score
worse in reading and math than their public school counterparts should
cause some soul-searching in Congress.
Too many lawmakers seem to believe that the only thing wrong with
American education is the public school system, and that converting
lagging schools to charter schools would cause them to magically
improve.
The study, based on data from 2003 on students' performance on the
National Assessment of Educational Progress, found charter school
students significantly behind their non-charter-school counterparts.
But it also showed that not all charter schools are created equal.
On average, charter schools that were affiliated with public school
districts performed just as well as traditional public schools.
That may be a disappointment to advocates who expected them to show
clear superiority.
But the real stunner was the performance of free-standing charter
schools, which have no affiliation with public school systems and are
often school districts unto themselves.
It was this grouping that showed the worst performance.
Free-standing charter schools often bite off more than they can chew.
The presumption is that without the bureaucratic restraints of the
public school system and the teacher unions, charter schools can
provide better education at lower cost.
But the problem with failing public schools is that they often lack
both resources and skilled, experienced teachers.
While there are obvious exceptions, some charter schools embark on a
path that simply recreates the failures of the schools they were
developed to replace.
Charter school advocates denounced the new federal study even before it
was released and took issue with its methodology, which is not perfect.
But this study does not stand alone.
The evidence so far shows that charter schools are not inherently
superior to the traditional public schools they often seek to supplant
-- and that they are sometimes worse.
One advantage of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 was the wave of
education studies it started.
They offer hope that Congress will look at the record when it considers
reauthorizing the law next year.
If it does, lawmakers will back away from the part of the act that
offers charter schools as a cure-all.
They should instead home in on the all-important but largely neglected
issue of teacher training and preparation -- which trumps everything
when it comes to improving student achievement.
These studies argue for a more nuanced federal policy that does not
just advocate wholesale charter conversion but instead defines and
supports successful models only.
Beyond that, Congress needs to grasp the obvious, which is that the
quality of the teacher corps is more crucial to school reform than
anything else.
The original law required states to provide highly qualified teachers
in core subject areas by this year.
But the Education Department simply failed to enforce the rule, partly
because of back-channel interference by lawmakers who talked like
ardent reformers while covering up for state officials clinging to the
bad old status quo.
Four years later, the national teacher corps is still in a shambles.
Until Congress changes that, everything else will amount to little more
than tinkering at the margins.

Harry Hope's posts by "relevance" particulary if the lies and
misdirection that we are all being sujected to by the extensive Bush
Crime Family Propagand machine are confusing you. Using the "sort by

What makes you believe charter schools are private schools?
"There are two principles which guide and validate charter schools.
First that they will operate as autonomous public schools. This is
effected by gaining waivers from many of the procedural requirements
of public schools. Second, that they will use innovative pedagogy. To
justify their waivers and autonomy, they must produce results superior
to non-charter schools."

You caught me being lazy....
However your same link points out that Bush is again an idiot:
"Bush has made charter schools a major part of his No Child Left Behind
Act. A recent report by the AFT, a noted charter-school opponent, has
shown charter schools not faring as well as public schools on state
administered standardized testing[4], though the report has been
heavily criticized.[5][6]"
