It receives tax money to operate just as(56)public schools do. The amount it receives depends(57)the number of students.

Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to(61)those goals. Class sizes usually are smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.

(64), many of the 36 charter schools in the District of Columbia hold classes in crowded buildings. These schools have almost 11,000 students. District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings(65)charter education. Yet, charter-school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.
