This sounds like an amazing strategy and I will advocate for it when I get around to starting a family (or a political career, whatever comes first). However, no matter what strategy is employed by charter schools there is a fundemental difference in the type of families that are present. I have a few teachers in the familiy and the sad stories I hear tend to center around enviromental issues. Abusive parents are the worst of it but the more common case is they're simply absent, physically in that they may be working two jobs and still not able to put food on the table seven days a week, or emotionally having succum to alchoholism or some other psycological disability.
It's a great idea, but it's just one tool in the tool box.
