Just, as I have traveled around from school to school, whether it's project-based learning or an outward bound curriculum, it's very hard to tell the difference between charters and public anymore. There's no fine line.

We have rapidly increasing technology, which is making life very good for people who are good at using words, and not so good for people who are not good at using words.

If I had to fault President [Barack] Obama, I would say that sometimes governs like a visitor from a morally superior civilization.

If there is a series of attacks like that or, God forbid, if ISIS is really sending soldiers across Europe and maybe across the world for a barrage of these things, then the political climate is revolutionized here. And maybe the [Donald] Trump speech will look like a precursor to a climate that we're all about to walk into.

Clearly, politics is a team sport. Trump is not so much of a team player.

Charter schools are public schools. They're paid for publicly and they're part of the public system. They just have a more independent structure.

It's a completely irrational decision to drop out of school.
