Have public schools have the right after documented interventions to expel ODD and behavior problem students with the district giving a per capita voucher to that child's parent/guardian, to find another school Put the onus on the parent to shop for an alternate education. Maybe the parent can buy a Charter/religious prep school, even the school Chriastie sends his kids to. I bet you that given that right, public schools would significantly close the achievement gap.

Put the onus on the parent to shop for an alternate education. Maybe the parent can buy a Charter/religious prep school, even the school Chriastie sends his kids to.

If no students from a district attend a particular charter school, the district sends no money to that charter school. Am I in error?

the parents from that district, who are happy with their school system, don’t want their tax money being removed from their school and their children to support a school that other parents from outside the district want.

Charter schools are only useful if anyone enrolls and as there are waiting lists for most charter schools, it's disingenuous to argue that parents don't want them.

He is making options available to parents who are unhappy with their school options but admits that, while still a step forward, is not the end-all be-all of school issues. Addressing unrealistic expectations doesn't make him a windbag. What did he say except the truth that you can’t look to the government to solve every damn problem?

This man is completely incapable of addressing criticism of his policies in a mature manner.
