Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : It didn't help his image when his own kids returned to their private school while public schools remained shuttered.
53% : Kiley, like radio host Larry Elder and businessman John Cox, sees school choice as the singular fix to what ails public education.
43% : But the most recent and highest-quality studies make it clear that charter schools aren't a panacea.
41% : Instead -- with the intriguing exception of one candidate -- they fall back on simplistic notions that school choice, mainly charter schools, will fix everything, or vow to do what Newsom already has done, namely reopen schools and aim more money at teachers, counselors and extra tutoring.
