If you give someone a dollar and they turn that into $10 then that person understands $$$. If he inherited 1 million or 400 million he is worth 5.5 BILLION today. I'm not the smartest, but that is the blueprint of how to manage businesses, money, investments, etc. What are you talking about? SMH
And Charters are here and were created because the problems with "traditional" schools. Now, I do agree, Charters, and I'm sure they all agree as well, should play up in 3A and 4A for sports. Especially, year in year out, if they are competitive or superior in sports. My kids went to a charter, played sports, and both excelled in sports and academics. Both played college sports and excelled academically and graduated. I credit those accomplishments to the charter they attended and the rigorous academics they were introduced to along the way. I saw many, many kids (athletes) try to get into our school of choice through the lottery that was denied year after year. So, I don't agree with the assessment that lotteries don't work or its easy to get into if you are an athlete. All Charters are being overseen by the Charter Schools of NC and if you do not comply with the rules (lottery), you will lose your charter.
