My ex brother in law, his mom was a catholic high school math teacher. She loved her job, loved her religion but the catholic school being non union she made 60% of what public schools made. She was content with her decision.

I'm still boggled about the concept if charter schools. My kids have been out of school for a good 15 years which is why I've never heard of them.
