      @Dave_White It's easy to paint w a broad brush. Addressing economic inequality never comes up. Poor districts need more than just schools.

      @JenAnsbach It's just depressing. Politics and poverty need fixing. Then "fix" education. In so many areas it doesn't need fixing.

          @njkeepmybones @CoryBooker Often not even random. Usually reqs a guardian to sign you up. That reqs resources, time, no lang obstacles.

          @CoryBooker @jenansbach charters work if they offer a different method than the public system. Otherwise, they're just for the privileged.
