school choice legislation, giving kids and parents a choice regardless of your economic means. giving parents choice to me means giving kids more opportunity. i just visited here in the district, two rivers charter school, along with chairman john klein and members of his committee to see exactly what s going on here in the district of columbia. it s been a laboratory for choice. about 43% of the students here in this town actually go to a charter school and what these charter schools have done is said to parents, we ll hold ourselves accountable. and the larger bill that we ll see come to the floor this week is a bill that has been written by chairman klein and his committee, and it takes the steps to say, we ve got to hold our schools accountable. it s fort good of our families, our kids, and it really goes a long way towards empowering teachers and providing that future path for kids that right now so many don t have.
