In Defense of Education's "Wild West": Charter Schools Thrive in the Four Corners States
Ladner, Matthew
Education Next, v18 n2 p16-23 Spr 2018

All four states have adopted relatively freewheeling authorization policies, and charter schools there show signs of prospering--and delivering substantial benefits to students.
