Why not let that happen in the public school system? Why is a separate school system needed?

Why do we have specialized schools for high achieving, special needs schools, etc...its bc they have a special need and environment needed to tailor to their needs. See how these students are segregated by ability? the basis of tracking

Disruptive students need to be segregated as well. they need to be socialized before we can attempt to teach them anything meaningful

Specialized schools are still public schools. Can't speak for special need schools because I'm not sure what those are. But I imagine they fall under the same umbrella and same rules as all public schools. Charter schools do not abide by the same rules.

Separating students isn't the issue. Using tax dollars to fund a separate school system that doesn't play by the same rules is the problem.

charters are still public schools difference they practice tracking more openly vs the unscreened public which parents want that the NYC DOE wage war on
