Education Secretary: “School Reform Means Doing What’s Best for Kids: Let’s have an honest assessment of charter schools.”

Wall Street Journal: “When parents recognize which schools are failing to educate their children, they will demand more effective options for their kids. They won’t care whether they are charters, non-charters or some other model. As President Barack Obama has called for, states should eliminate restrictions that limit the growth of excellent charter schools, move forward in improving or restructuring chronically failing schools, and hold all schools accountable for results.”
