The Editorial Put Austin Charter Schools in Public Realms talks about how Charter Schools should be moved into public schools and become one. So then charter school students can benefit from the sources that public schools are offered and that public school students could use better teachers and higher standards. They think that charter students will raise the test and academic ratings for schools that are almost ready to close down because of it for example Pierce and Garcia Middle school two of many that are low performers could benifit from adding charter students to their public school.

After reading this Editorial a couple of times, I'm not too crazy about the idea. Yes public schools could use higher standards and more academic resources and ideas but I don't think that combining charter and public schools is a good idea at least for right now. If you want to raise TAKS ratings and so forth you have to ask yourself whats the reason for the scores being so low in the first place. Another thing you have to think about once you combine these two schools together is will it cause rival just as it did when students from New Orleans moved to Austin and joined public schools. How well are public students going to accept the students from charter schools like KIPP Charter School. Some might accept them just fine but then alot of the students might think that the KIPP students think their smarter than them or be jealous because they don't have the attention that the others do which might start problems.

The author of this article doesn't go into depth enough arguing her opinion. She mostly describes how it will benefit public school ratings but what else is it going to do? Ok it will benefit KIPP students by allowing them to have the facilitlies and sources to better their learning but how will it affect the indivisual students in public schools. The author also doesn't provide the reader with enough information on charter schools and other things to make the reader have a better understanding of the arguing point, so they can possibly argree with her.
