What is charter school doing that's better than public schools?

It all depends on what type of a person you are. Not having been to a private school, I can't speak for them, but I know they have a schedule similar to a public school (where you go 5 days a week & have homework), and that high grades are often pushed. I currently attend a charter college prep school, but I assume you are referring to homeschooling charter school instead of the type I'm at. I was homeschooled almost all my life, it was great for me and I loved it. It allowed me to sleep in and get as much homework (or sometimes as little...) homework done as I wanted to. Charter programs work great for people who are self-motivated.

What efforts were made to improve education education in the 1830s?

In 1830 the family was the primary institution for socializing and education of the children. By 1855 it became clear that more public schools were needed to teach the large population of foreign born settling in cities. It was felt that public schools would combat the growing differences in social classes. The discussion had also begun about what education was and how could reform be accomplished. One theory stated education was for utility while another reasoned it was for knowledge and general intelligence. At the same time a number of technological and economic developments made it possible to support more schools, serve more students, and have longer school days. By 1879 public schools were throughout the country and the first high schools begun.
