One of the misconceptions in public education is the idea that we should just throw all of the kids into the same classroom and call that good. If a kid cannot speak English yet or has some kind of disability or learns better when outside then the education system should be robust enough to accommodate that.
Similar to the charter schools, you could still have lotteries or whatever to get into these focused schools.
The differences would be in transparency in the funding, eliminating the waste of having a board of directors for every charter school, more streamlined maintenance services, etc.
If you really want to have a private school then it should be 100% private funded and still regulated by the public school system.

The CBE, and I'm assuming other school boards as well, offers various specialized programs with entrance lotteries already and they are expanding programs when possible.
