Admittedly, it's a gray area. They're taxpayer-funded and free to the students, but with the alternative/reform designation they're given a lot more leeway in terms of curriculum, discipline procedures, and all that. It's just a different kind of public school model, the way I see it. Generally speaking, the vast majority of charter schools are attempting to reform the worst groups of kids, but there are a few that are like the school that monster's kids go to, where it's more about love of knowledge and lack of institutional stifling.
