Given that you yourself noted the extreme hit-or-miss nature of charter programs (in addition to the fact that there are disagreements over the scope and nature of what should be a "charter" program), either of these solutions seem like a band-aid rather than an actual solution to many (likely including myself and 33).
When asking for details, I kind of wanted to know when he said this and in what context because it's not something outlined in his education plan at all. I'm really on the fence about charter schools and would prefer that they not take money away from public schools but have seen some really great ones too.

I thought money for charter schools and voucher systems were a Republican thing.
