Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : As ex-Gov. David Paterson, a Democrat who fought successfully to allow more charters back in 2010, told The Post: "The charter schools took the kids that people said couldn't learn.
36% : Faced with the undeniable fact city kids attending charters schools do far better on state exams than those stuck in the regular public-school system, critics routinely complain that charters "teach to the test" -- as if that's somehow a bad thing.
35% : In other words, the critics are just avoiding the fact that public charter schools work -- and, most embarrassing to the vested interests that depend on the regular system, work far better for lower-income minority children.
