I may have read too much into the article. I thought that part of their point is that as the charter/academy schools expand and more students enter them, they would naturally bring more children with problems into their programs. Because of that they have become more and more "no excuses" schools. In other words they have been forced to deal with those issues and it has still not negatively affected the success of their programs.
