"Charter school" and "private school" are not synonymous. Charter schools are independently operated public schools and part of the public school district. Private schools are not part of the public school district.

I don't know what the capitalism vs. communism debate has to do with it, but a market formed by consumer choice is telling us something about value here. Every parent I know that cannot afford a private school tries to get their kids into an available slot in a charter school. All of them are running away from publicly-administered schools as fast as they can for varied reasons (education quality, politics, bullying, to name some discrete motivations I'm familiar with).
