Abstract	The charter school movement is prepared to expand at rates once unimaginable. Yet, a glaring hypocrisy exists in the movement that education and political leaders seem eager to ignore. The charter school movement stakes its very effectiveness and value on increased levels of accountability and measurable student achievement results; but it fails to hold itself to these same standards. While some of the best public schools operating today are charter schools, sadly, so are some of the worst. Yet, education and political leaders frequently criticize traditional public schools for not achieving standards, but are oddly silent when it comes to the plethora of failing charters and the possible implications this could have on their policy agenda. In this article, the author reflects about where charter schools have been and where they're headed. (ERIC).
