While systemic changes can be put into place that encourage parent involvement, none of the changes you cited requires it. I think there is a high likelihood that involved parents find themselves enrolling children into some charter schools. When you have classes of students whom have involved parents, miraculously the students do better.

You know there is a reason why parents who are interested in their childs education chooses charter schools.
But apparently miraculously when SA started in Harlem the parent who cared about their childs education appeared in perfect sync with the charter school. Before that they simply didn't exist.
I have lost track of what this discussion is about anymore. No one is saying that charter schools is the only way to do things. I was reacting to a claim that charter schools had advantages compared to public schools.
There is a very specific reason why the kids spend a long time in school btw but since you are more interested in miracles I will save that for another day.
