Paraphrase the debate below giving both sides in 11 words or less.
Proponents of charter schools argue that public schools have too little flexibility to meet the needs of students. Public schools are seen as bound by excessive regulations stemming from provincial laws, school district policies and union contracts. Consequently, advocates suggest that public schools are unresponsive to the demands of parents and are places where innovative educational practices are difficult to achieve. Proponents say that uniformity of public schools is a detriment to the quality of students' education and that more choices of programs and competition among schools are needed so that ineffective schools are closed.
Public schools are more regulated, but charter schools offer more choice.
