Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : Kids would take seven years to do their B.A., trying to undo 12 years of negligence in public schools, and their scholarships would run out."
64% : But public education in California isn't run with the best interest of the children in mind.
60% : L.A. finds itself in the strange position of having built 130 new schools for not a single new student in the system," Morrow wrote, "because public schools in affluent areas are emptying out ... while schools in poor areas are running over capacity, in part due to the underlying land use policy changes."
58% : (Romero has since left Scholarship Prep due to a personnel dispute and co-founded another network of charter schools, a model she continues to champion.)
53% : She believes charter schools to be "like the Statue of Liberty: Give us those who yearn for education.
51% : That experience might have colored Wade's view of regulation, but in his telling, his primary concern is that the board, or another regulatory body, will impose a new rule or interpret an old rule in a novel way.
