So, voters have decided that the best people to decide whether a charter school should be approved are sitting in nice offices in Atlanta, not at the local Board of Education in the community the charter would ostensibly serve. Great, parents will possibly have more choices available to them. But, what if those new choices are no better than the existing ones? How will anyone know? And, if the AZ example of exempting charters from state accountability requirements is followed, we'll NEVER find out. We've already seen how AZ leads the nation, or at least the southeast, in wrongheaded policy decisions.

By the way, I remember the moral of the fable: Don't put all your eggs in one basket!
