14. Until Charter schools take any kid from their service area that shows up at their door,

they can never be compared to public schools. What Charter schools do is take kids that have motivated parents. They do not take the kids whose parent or parents don't properly launder his or her cloths or insure that the kid is groomed each day. They do not take the kid that has behavior problems and struggle to figure those out while trying to teach the kid. They don't take kids that are slow learners for whatever reason the kid is slow and try to catch him or her up to his or her peers.

If you give any competent person select components to work with and adequate funding, I promise you that person will be successful. It is an absolute travesty that you say that some Chicago schools have to hold bake sales to support basic educational functions, people should be rioting in the streets about such a situation and politicians most certainly should be held accountable.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
