Well, he seems to just basically be against turning your back on the "real" public schools. He thinks that parents, I dunno, are too picky or want every school to cater to their child, so they yank them out. He doesn't like that a lot of charter schools are run by businesses (I'm also a little iffy about that). He also says there's a difference in quality among charters (true for public, too!!), and that they're "exclusive" because not everyone can got to the charter of their choice (also true for public).
Actually, I get confused on his dislike. On one hand, he says that if you don't like our broken school system, you should stay and fight for change. On the other hand, he says parents are picky and want special schools and they just need to, I dunno, get with the mainstream program.
