No one is claiming their overall performance is better and I deliberately didn't talk about charter schools in general. I reacted to the characterization from exelius about how charter schools somehow was worse.

All I want is for my kid to learn first of all reading, writing and math.

I don't even care about whether one school outperform another but there seem to be various studies showing different things.

My guess is that charter schools work a little better because of the Hawthorne Effect.

And studies show different things. According to this it's better in general. But to me thats less important you can probably find studies that shows other things too.
