Not sure if this post if pro or anti Betsy DeVos. But Charter schools are what allow low income families that choice to go to a better school. They are publicaly funded so parents dont have to pay, but they aren't stuck under the weight and hammer of the teachers union. Families can also choose to remove their students and place them back in public education if they don't like the school. It gives parents of all incomes a choice, it fosters compition to keep students at your school for funding, which in turn will create better schools as schools that fail students will loose funding and schools that excel students will get more. Seems like win, win, win for students and parents, for education, and for tax payers.
