At first the changes to the rules regarding charter schools didn't make sense. What school would hire teachers without college degrees and without doing a background check?

The missing piece was the rise in the number of out-of-state companies that are running for-profit charter schools in NC. The major cost in a school is salaries, so the easiest way to make a profit is to hire teachers with no college degree and limited employment opportunities due to problems that would show up on a background check.

Sure, that's simplistic, but what other way is there to interpret the legislature's actions?
