As someone that went to private school so I get confused when people talk about charter and public schools. Arent charter schools public school?

Ah OK, I didn't know that.

No, they're just a different model of school, they can be public or private. They're pretty popular in many circles, but also come with a lot of shady aspects and sometimes fail spectacularly.

How does that work? Do they have to follow public standards?

What are the good parts of it? I know we have them here in nyc and if they are still around in a really progressive city there must be some type of positive.

This last question is such a waste of time.

Winners: Biden, Castro, and Warren-
Solid: Beto, Booker, Amy, and Buttigieg.
Losers: Yang, Bernie, and Harris.
I think Biden did really well. He defended his healthcare position well and I think he has the besteducation plan. Catro had some solid attacks and Warren did good overall.
Beto had his first good performance and Booker did really well.
Yang and Bernie barely talked. Bernie seemed sick so yeah. Harris sounded high and made no sense a lot of the time.

Jesus this was the worst debate. Filled with inane babble.

Julian Castro's petty disrespect created a lot of blowback and I love it.

ACTUAL Hypocrite of the Year:

The ideological neoliberal who posted this in order to promote pro-corporate, centrist alternatives like Joe Biden and Amy Klobuchar. And who also apparently believes that Trump was the better option in 2016.
