There are plenty of people who argue that charter schools are unfair because they believe that charters use admissions tests to only take the smartest kids.
1. No, they don't. Charters (with very few exceptions) take all students that apply, and use a lottery to determine who gets a spot.
2. If you think that testing for admission to a public school is wrong, you're not arguing against charter schools. You're arguing against magnet schools and exam schools.
