the short answer to the school question is no. But how to best deal with it is the real question. Charter schools seem like a band-aid to the problem, becasue if you're a lucky kid with (2) parents who'll bust a nut to get you in, what about the unlucky ones? I'd start by dealing with what ails the schools the most, kids coming from households where the parent(s) either can't or won't support their kids the way they need to. A lot of that is cyclical poverty, but the schools ought ot set aside one period where they "school" the kids on how to behave. It sounds crazy, but if you have manners, you can overcome almost anything.
