I can appreciate the intent behind this idea, and applaud their effort. Sadly, though, it will never work. Why? Because of the social class that these neighborhoods are in. The children would go to the charter school in the day and learn how to behave and appreciate education, but they will return to a negative environment. Its the same as gov't thinking that by relocating Section 8 tenants to the suburbs, it will make them gain middle and upper class values.
