We realize our work is far from over. Even when we see impressive overall performance, we know that the average often includes some sub-par schools. We must continue to work even harder to uphold the charter model of excellence and accountability to improve them or weed them out. It must be about quality for our kids.
More Quotes from Nelson Smith:
The charter movement has to do a better job of communicating the role charter schools play in raising student achievement and opening doors for disadvantaged children. Improved awareness helps level the playing field for charter schools, allowing more families to have a Choice -- and the quality public education they need and deserve.Nelson Smith
Charter schools are public schools. Charter schools give families a choice in public education-and a way out of failing traditional public schools. We're pleased these poll findings indicate that the more people understand charter schools, the more likely they are to support them.

We had a lot of missed tackles and kids lining up wrong. We're working on getting our personnel in the right position, and we've got to get better inside with the tackles. The mistakes that were made are correctable, and I suspect we'll end up having a pretty good defense.
