Charter Schools as the Form of Decentralization and Improving the Quality of Education in the United States of America

Abstract

Poor teaching outcomes and centralization trends in an American education have prompted local communities and social organizations to seek alternative forms of education. One of them are charter schools. Referring to the previous studies, the author points to the insignificant differences between traditional and charter schools in the teaching outcomes, and important differences in equal opportunities for students from poor families and racial minorities.
