COUNTING EVERY FRESHMAN THAT WALKS IN THE DOOR WHO GO ON TO GRADUATE

Thank you for telling this story. I was the speaker @ the Charter Schools Day of Action. I am a parent of 3 charter school students and i feel that parents are being given misinformation about charter schools and its not fair to the kids or parents. Our children deserve the best education possible. So many kids in Chicago are being short changed due to adults argueing over money. Save the kids! Teach the Kids! Parents: step up and demand better. You have a choice! Charters Work. Thank you Juan!

Thank you, Juan - for such a fantastic piece of reporting!!!!!!! And on such a controversial subject! I support school choice and you make a very compelling case! Thank you!!!!!!!

[themanda1991]

Thank you so much for your information about schools. School choice is such an important issue - the politicians and many teachers do not enroll their children in public schools - what does that tell you? We need choice - the system needs improvement and now.

[janshaw22]

... inherited a A dis-functional school system... And Arne Duncan the former head of the Chicago school system, now is the secretary of education in the USA.... Let's get rid of the department of education - it promotes more bureaucracy. Results are coming in charter school with less bureaucracy. 

[nrgrus]

These people are dressed the same AND will act the same. When did education start teaching socialism? Be the same..don't be leaders or independent thinkers! Scary.. so much a reminder of Hitlers youth. Easy..NO HAND OUTS!! Socialism is not an answer!! Good idea without the socialistic approach! But then..you have a public school system ..:/

Chicago, wake up! Read nytimes.com/2012/01/15/us/a-li­fetime-of-close-ties... Rahm is using and abusing our most vulnerable citizens for his politics of displacement. Don't be sheep. You must know that charter school teachers are less qualified, have a terrible turn-over rate, and are not producing decent "scores," let alone strong thinkers. Rahm's use of charters is just dodging his responsibility and enriching his campaign buddies. CPS parent, CPS teacher, CTU member. Bond, James Bond.

[BondJames1961]

Is it by accident, or careful PR, that only supportive comments are posted? Rahm has a strangle hold on the media already. The charter schools are under-performing. He's using the charters as incentives for his political backers.

@BondJames1961 Unlike the Chicago Teachers Union, we welcome all opinions.

Thank you Juan, it was a pleasure listening to you and Dick Morris discussing both of your views about competition for schools,merit pay,virtual schooling and vouchers. My wife and I liked what you said about "Keep your eye on the prize". Hope you and Dick enjoyed your visit to Deerfield Beach/Boca Raton...Please come back soon...As for Mr. Morris, we know he likes "wintering" down here and he's always welcome. Thanks also to Slade OBrien from Americans for Prosperity+ the Hilton.

Lesson: Competition in education leads to schools competing for your dollars. The best survive and the weak must die. Government run entities protected by law have no incentive to educate your child. Get government out of the way and your children will succeed.

Juan Williams, this is journalism at its best! 

[poisonpero]

I'm a white Conservative, but Juan Williams (a black Liberal) is one of my heroes. He's one of the bravest Americans of our time. His book "Enough" is fantastic, because of his willingness to say the hard truth to black Americans, and this video is along the same lines.

Juan Williams is about the truth, and is willing to say and act on it. Our country would be better off if others would follow his lead: Liberals, Conservatives, and most important the apathetic majority who turn a blind eye.

[Harlembrown]

Thanks so much for this excellent work, Mr. Williams. May God bless you for it.

[SuperGregoryRoss]

Excellent video! I happily put this into my favorites.

[BaylorSports]

Welcome to Chicago. Just move people,

[duanedaly]

Excellent video Juan! I highly recommend everyone to view and then share this video with your friends, family, and neighbors.

[IKeepRight]

follow the money. Get Unions out of education.

[DMolinero63]

The thing that I like about Juan Williams is that he's an Honest Liberal; willing to look for the truth despite the Left/Right divide that holds too many hostage.

[betbuk]

Bravo!!!

I really appreciated this video, but would have liked more of a focus on voucher programs for parental choice for not just Charter Schools but Home Schooling or Private Schooling options.

[mzzzdee]

Thank you Juan for being on the panel at the Chicago National School Choice Week!

[afterimagedan]

@mzzzdee I second this. Thank you and Michael Medved for coming out. My wife and I loved it.
