Public schools are our future. We need to make sure that the teachers have the tools necessary to instruct our children to be successful citizens. Charter schools have a place, however they need to be accountable for proving attendance and activity. The majority of these schools have terrible graduation rates. Public schools however have proven to be very successful. If fairly funded, this can continue.
