By charter schools, I’m just referring to greater autonomy on the part of the schools, not releasing them from their pledge to serve all members of the community, etc.

The Italian schools are highly centralized. They see that as critical in breaking down regionalism in a nation-state that is less than a hundred and fifty years old. Now think of what ‘autonomy’ can mean in our state that was rebel territory in 1865.
