Support for charter schools in the United States is falling. These are publicly-funded but privately run schools. "This is happening amid growing awareness that charters in California and other states are draining vital resources from traditional publicly funded and operated school districts, which the vast majority of America's schoolchildren attend." Additionally, "Charter critics also point to a drumbeat of financial and management scandals — which charter supporters don't often talk about in public. Scandals are chronicled on a blog called #AnotherDayAnotherCharterScandal, which is the work of the public education advocacy group the Network for Public Education."
