Magnet Schools-- Are they worth it?

In "Reviewing Charter Schools," Charles Kuffner, who attended graduate school at Rice university, discusses how Houston Magnet Schools are being reviewed by an outside auditor that could effect how much money the schools will receive in the future. Magnet schools are used to attract a different type of population of children and parents around the world. I know and can relate because I attended one, that, in my opinion, definitely needs to be reviewed. The Government and other organizations donate more to the schools because of their "advanced teachings" but this may or may not be appropriate. Kuffner believes the audits are necessary to determine whether or not the money is being put to a good use, in other words, are the magnet schools effective? It is important to know if our tax money for this type of education is being used fairly. This information will be good for not only the general public, but for those children and parents interested in attending a magnet program.
