I think, importantly, that flexibility at the State and local level would really allow those closest to the students to target those resources.

There are way too many families that don't have that choice and we continue to consign them in too many cases to schools that do not work for them.

I think that there is almost unanimity around this notion that more students need to have the opportunity to both earn and learn.
