Actually, for anybody taking a very close look at the concept, you can
discover a great number of anomalies and problems within the concept. 
Rather than setting up a separate school model within the public system,
why not just fixing the problems within the system?

It's your school board administration that negotiates the contracts with
the teachers, and you the voter elects the public representatives to that
system.  If you feel that the teachers are not accountable, it's likely
because _your_ representatives negotiated that requirement away.

Personally, I feel it would be far better to fix the current system than
to try to start new problems within it.
