I coached and taught at a charter school (Union Academy) and public school (Marvin Ridge). Both were greater challenges in the classroom than on the field. I loved the kids in both settings. They’re just amazing. But the administration mindset was as different as they were equally challenging. Charter school was easy: the principal was garbage. Public school administration was way more complex - as were the demands placed on the administrators.
Conversely, charter school teachers were predominantly cool, while public school teachers were petty and often surprisingly bigoted.
You could tell what was important by how budgets were spent.

I homeschooled the boys. 😆
It is a mistake to take public funds to pay for education. It just led to graft and hog swill to feed the hogs at the public expense.
We really need an old fashioned apprenticeship education system. This is true for all education achievements, philosophy, businesses, healthcare.
The Hippocrates oath was originally one of apprenticeship.
The modern education we have is trash.
