Hi Mathew, yes, all you suggest us reasonable and worth a try. I temperamentally tend toward caution re: transformative policy predictions, but have come around more recently on charters. They may sometimes be stultifying and seem to limit creativity, but for kids who badly need stability and rules along with support, I’ve come to think they’re necessary - or private schools that can achieve the same. As a liberal some of what I’ve gained a greater appreciation for are variables like leadership, culture, and simply a more honest appreciation of how incentives shape individual and group behavior.
