As Chancellor,
I want the best for our kids. That's why I'm closing their schools, and allowing charters to take over. After all, charters are better than public schools
17% of the time, so it's crucial we give our kids the chance to enroll in a grueling, dehumanizing lottery process in which they have a small chance of getting into one of these schools. That way, if they do, they have a 17% chance of getting a superior education. Me, I sent my kids to
private schools until high school, because I don't take chances with my own kids.
In any case, I'd like to give the rest of you the opportunity to take that crapshot. I figure if 20% actually get into the charters, that 3.4% of your kids will have better schools. But consider this--if I can double the number of charters, 6.8% of your kids will have better schools. Perhaps one day I'll be remembered as the chancellor who managed to get 3.4% more kids better schools.
Let me tell you, I don't take this responsibility lightly. I want to close
all the public schools the failing public
