Same, although i knew a guy who had a personalized plate that was out of use for several years that he was able to have reregistered to another vehicle down the line.

Tell me you haven’t lived in Curwensville without telling me you haven’t lived in Curwensville.

It's more complicated than that. You left out the part where it says that 40% of the CEO's salary is tied to profits. That gives away what they're trying to hide here: that the main goal is to make profits. You know, the thing that a non-profit is not meant to prioritize. They didn't peg executive compensation to the quality of care received by patients but to profit and that tells you everything you need to know.
If they're going to priotize profits, they're free to do so. They just have to pay tax on that profit like every other for-profit business out there.

Well I'm a 16 year old and I've been to two Antifa meetings this month and you are totally wrong. Charters are literally fascism. Case closed.

Yep, sure is. And I feel like there was another more recent story along the same lines but I couldn’t find anything. I know some good people in that town, but there are some pretty odd ducks as well.

Right, a kid with an ADHD diagnosis and an IEP gets full sped funding but it’s not costing the school much more than a kid without an IEP. He or she might go to a learning support teacher part of the day, or might have a paraprofessional working alongside. A nonverbal kid with autism, or severe emotional disturbance, or extensive physical needs is going to cost a lot more to educate, but may also be turned down by the charter because they don’t have the staff or programs or facilities to educate the student. A lot of the time, the school honestly doesn’t have the resources to properly educate those students, but they absolutely do take full advantage of the higher funding for students with documented needs.

Who's they? You need to be more specific.
US is very unlike most countries. The population is not homogeneous.
We have an obesity problem. But if you look at people of German ancestry in the US, their rates of obesity are similar to Germans living in Germany.
Education is no different. Some groups have problems. Some do not. Even when they go to the same school.

My mom stuck me in agora for a single school year many years ago. I didn’t do a damn thing that whole year except scroll through the internet and sleep all day. Agora is absolutely useless for an actual education.

Here are my suggestions:
​
- Look at aerial photographs. if your property is surrounded by people on small lots, they will be using your property for whatever they want and you are going to have a helluva time policing it. This is quadruple if you own the land right behind a development of homes
- Look at the topography of land, and look for trails or dirt roads, are there a bunch of trails crisscrossing the whole area including your property? If so people aren't going to stop using them just because you own it now.
- Look for neighbors you just KNOW are going to be a problem from the start. People with obvious obnoxious "anti-tresspassing" signs, like every single tree is posted on THEIR property line facing the road, but none anywhere else? probably an asshole who will trespass constantly and be a dick about it
​
Finally, look at the general area you are looking to buy in, does it look like a place people you don't want are just going to randomly show up at because its right off a major roadway where it will be a short cut to another place or near a plaza or is it 15 miles from the nearest parking lot and the only way to get to it is a 2 lane country road?
​
Trespassing signs don't work, gates and fences don't work, the only thing that will keep people off your land is having land in an area that isn't convenient for them to be able to get to

If only the school districts had some kind of council where the citizens could vote for people to oversee the school. 🤔

You are mostly correct here, but your comment about kicking out IEP kids is somewhat inaccurate. Charters actually thrive on admitting low-need IEP kids because they receive the funding boost that comes with them.
Generally low-level IEP students are less costly to host for charters than the average IEP kid across all classifications, and charters get the funding for the IEP average kid in a given district when they bring them in. So a charter is taking low need kids and getting more in funding from the public school than what it actually costs to educate them, meaning the public schools are getting crushed on higher level IEP students when the lower level ones go to the charters.
