Laila Weir
Yes. Artificial limits deprive public school kids of the chance to attend better schools. We should allow charter schools that successfully educate children to operate and close those that don't work.
No. We need to support traditional school districts. Without limits, charter schools will proliferate and drain away the money and top students, leaving only struggling students in segregated districts that are even more underfunded than they are today.
None of the above. (Comment below.)
