This is going to hurt Beto O’Rourke support. He's lost me now.

Can you please explain to a non-American what these Charter schools exactly are and where the problem lies?

It is an immensely complex issue. The best I could do to explain it is throw John Oliver at you. I'm with Spoken Truth, not a fan of charter schools. I think they make the problems with our education system worse, not better. They're contributing to a breakdown in public education and a slow slide into privatization of our public school system.
