There are several test pilot schools and around the world, formed after the example of the original Empire Test Pilots' School in the UK. All have similar missions: to train already experienced pilots and engineers to test new and experimental aircraft. Some test pilot school graduates in the U.S. have gone on to become astronauts.
A charter school is a US and Canadian term for a school that receives public funding, but operates independently of the established public school system, in which it is located. Charter schools are an example of alternative education.
All Australian private schools receive some state government funding. They are technically all "Charter" schools although the term is not used in Australia.
The Canadian province of Alberta enacted legislation in 1994 enabling charter schools. The first charter schools under the new legislation were established in 1995: New Horizons Charter School, Suzuki Charter School, and the Centre for Academic and Personal Excellence.
Alberta charter schools have much in common with their U.S. counterparts. As of 2010 there were 22 charter schools in the province, operated by 13 charter school authorities, compared with over 50 school boards, with the largest one alone having over 200 schools. The idea of charter schools initially sparked great debate and is still controversial, but has had limited impact. As of 2010, Alberta remains the only Canadian province that has enabled charter schools.
A test pilot is an aviator who flies new and modified aircraft in specific maneuvers, known as flight test techniques or FTTs, allowing the results to be measured and the design to be evaluated.
Test pilots may work for military organizations or private, (mostly aerospace) companies. Testing military aircraft, in particular, is regarded as the most challenging and risky flying conducted in peacetime.
In the 1950s, test pilots were being killed at the rate of about one a week, but the risks have shrunk to a fraction of that, thanks to the maturation of aircraft technology, better ground-testing and simulation of aircraft performance, fly by wire technology and lately, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to test experimental aircraft features. Still, piloting experimental aircraft remains more dangerous than most other types of flying.
A test pilot must be able to:

Fallout 4- The Legend of Suffolk County Charter School- Pink Ghouls, pink paste and a greedy principal. This and more in this episode of Fallout 4- Legends of Suffolk County Charter School: So another pre-war school. This particular one was participating in the Nutritional Alternative Paste Program (NAPP). This replaced all the food in the school with a pink paste. In return they got funding. Principal Jackie Hudson's holotape logs tell us it was only going for a week before the bombs hit, and was not going well. The children became more aggressive and started turning pink. We hear of the place from the remains of a group of raiders. They tried to have an intervention for one of their friends after they kept eating the food paste and became aggressive. They are all dead when we find them...
The school choice battle rages on — public school proponents believe their way of implementing education is the best way, while proponents of charter schools believe their way of instructing our youth is better. To educate our youth, do we have to choose public or charter schools? Can we take elements from both sides to educate our children and can we focus on what works best?
