Again you are assuming the wrong things about what makes education work IMO.
It's NOT the budget and never have been. My sons school doesn't have anywhere near the budget of a private school. That doesn't mean that they are doing worse.
The entire idea of money being the key indication only make sense if we are talking about litterally not being able to pay for teachers.
You contradict yourself when you then claim that places like Kahn Academy provides similar education for no money at all.
It's way way cheaper budget they run by and they don't have any benefit of having in person teachers.
And yes your take would be different once you have kids for reasons not easily detectable in statistics or public research and you can't set it up in some table and start comparing it purely via non-human metrics.
None the less your characterization of charter schools in general is mostly wrong and that is what I take issue with. Not whether there are problems with some charter schools.
