The schools that suffer are the schools in, in poor neighborhoods. They are the neighborhoods with the greatest need, with the parents struggling to work and to make ends meet. They don't have enough resources to give, they don't have enough resources to pay more, and these are the neighborhoods that go first.

I don't prejudge issues. I come to every case with an open mind. Every case is new to me.

If you're poor, you don't often live near a good school. If it's a competitive public school program, our kids are not prepared to enter those programs.
