Yes. I would rather send my student to any Title I district in MA than any average school in about half the states in this country. A student has the opportunity to achieve at any public school in this state. That's not true nationwide.

Frankly, as someone who works in one, I refuse to subscribe to "schools that poor people go to are bad", and you should too.

Oh, you're not talking about poor people? But I thought you mentioned Haverhill, with half of its students economically disadvantaged. And Lawrence, where over 75% of its students are classified as such. But no, you're not talking about schools for poor people. Ok. To say that claiming a students can get a great education at any public school in this state is a "crazy statement" is ignorant of what goes on in our schools.

I'm all set with you now.
