Abstract | The 2020 Democratic Party platform promises a ban on all federal funding for for-profit charter schools, explaining that "education is a public good and should not be saddled with a private profit motive." A look at Academica, a large U.S.-based education service, and their response to the COVID-19 crisis might temper some of that distrust. This article also covers when a school is considered for-profit, advantages and hazards of for-profits, and the variable quality of for-profit operators. The author concludes that if policymakers want to get the most out of for-profit operators (with the added benefit of getting the most out of government-run and nonprofit schools, too), they will need to support a genuinely competitive market that allows all families to choose learning environments that work best for their children.
