100 per cent correct.
The reason why David Seymour is selling it is union busting.
If that involves siphoning millions of dollars away from the public system and having a disjointed education system, he views it as money really well spent.martinb

Manukura in Palmy North is producing excellent results in sports (rugby codes) and academically.
See that is called a 'character school' not charter. What's the difference?
The main benefit of charter schools as a whole seems to be union busting. Plus they don’t seem to have to follow a whole lot of restrictions other schools do- cellphone bans, curriculum, reports, teachers pay scale and qualification requirements etc.
I think special character schools are basically private schools like the ones run by various churches. I think though they are supposed to, at least in theory, still follow a lot of standards the general public system does. I read a bit of a reporting my David Farrier on a religious school and their approach towards gay students, which in theory should have had some repercussions.
But given a specific reason of this one being so academy prospects don’t have to set speed records between school and various trainings and I’m a Nix fan I’m less allergic to it.
earlier this year it was shown that the govt was spending over 5 times more per student in charter schools than public schools. Obviously from the Nix's perspective they want to reduce the risk of setting up a private school and trying to fund it, so getting the Govt to pay per student is beneficial to them (if not for the rest of society).
