Det charters are outperforming, but bar is very low. Chaos is real, but so is district dysfunction.
story, start to finish, was about problems w/system: DPS and CS. That's why we referred to "public education."

To back up
@RbnLake, the headline is "A Sea of CHARTER Schools in Detroit Leaves Students Adrift"@MichaelPetrilli -
A better frame would have been "A sea of underperforming schools leaves students adrift."

Overall, story's accurate, but DPS mess deserves more attn. Charters didn't cause Det failures but didn't solve.

"Detroit schools have long been in decline academically and financially," etc. See "related coverage" for all we've done re:DPS.

Unmanaged choice created big probs for little gain in Det. Yet most families want choice. Huge missed oppty.
