The parent knows instinctively that if they're working and setting an example for their child that means that child is more likely to be in school, more likely to stay out of trouble and more likely to complete their education.

I wish we could have acted quicker on Detroit or other failing schools.

And there should not be a limit on the creation of new public schools. We ought to expand choices for parents.
