Not a fan of public school system. Charter school vouchers are needed for competition. While teachers demand more money, 30% of all black kids flunk the SAT.

All parents should have the opportunity to send their child to the best school for them, not just people that can afford to send their children to private schools, like Gov Cooper. Wouldn't it be great if the public schools were the School of Choice? Competition will improve public schools.
