Clark is a huge admirer of teachers. It’s a sacrifice financially and many teachers burn out because the work is so difficult. A lot of the burnout happens because of the environment in which teachers must work. Many schools are not set up to help children learn, and the bureaucracy that decides where kids go to school is inherently flawed. Every child is different and there is no “one size fits all” for kids. Nowhere is it worse than in Washington, D.C. Many kids there simply don’t have a chance because the schools are so poor. So, Clark was jumping for joy when Congress passed a voucher program for the Washington schools. People in the public school system were not happy about it, and many are now seething. Clark wonders why public schools are upset because kids get to choose which school they want to attend. he thinks it's a great thing. According to the Washington Post, the government held a school fair that allowed parents to find a “match” school for their kids. The parents had been chosen in a lottery and they showed up in droves, trying to get their kids into one of 44 private schools. Granted, many kids do fine in public schools. But we have to give kids a chance and a choice, especially lower income students who may never get another one.
