For the record, I am a major supporter of our national public schools system as a whole, and do think that charter schools (although beneficial) are not the panacea to closing the achievement gap or improving schools. To put it another way, I do not fit under the idea of an "education reformer" that is so trendy in policy circles these days.
Having said that, I do find this video highly informative. It is from the CATO Institute, and I discovered it via Joanne Jacobs.
I suppose I need to learn more about this issue, but to me, I don't think the backlash to actually publishing these hidden costs would be as significant at major public school districts would think. I could be wrong.
