A very measured editorial on charter schools, not from the Washington Post, but from the Los Angeles Times

Unlike the cheerleading on the editorial pages of the Washington Post for both charter schools and for Chancellor Rhee's "reform" efforts with the DC Public School system, the Los Angeles Times has an incredibly nuanced editorial about charter schools, what they do, why some programs are successful, and how jumping from some examples to a national policy is a big stretch. See "Charter schools hold promise, but they're no magic bullet."
