I wouldn't be educating children if I did not believe in human potential.

I want kids to be able to escape failing schools that trap them. And it's an unequal trapping of children. The most affluent find a way to escape. They move to a great suburban district or send their kid to a private school. The people who are trapped in the worst schools that have been terrible often for half a century? Those are the poorest kids.

I am from an F.D.R. liberal-Democratic family. With proximity to government, I have become more libertarian.
