I have heard from time to time that foundations have been making donations to support charter schools.  My perception links this kind of behavior the same way like the sponsorship that the big banks or corporations made to performance arts, theaters, etc. for the communities or special interest groups to promote their business’ images as well as generating a tax deduction.  Now more information unfolds, the corporation interest in charter schools seem to be a different story.

I do not agree with the idea of privatizing the public schools.  I think public schools, charter schools and private schools should be interplay in the education system so that parents have more options for their children’s education and ideally a real healthy competition. Corporations who want to privatize public schools should back off from the education field, in my opinion.
