Education to me is the most important thing that we've got going in this country. I mean, a lot of my family are teachers. I was the recipient of a great public education, and I see that's one of the first things that we're going to go, 'What are we going to raise?' The ignorant masses.

A lot of charter schools are non-union schools that take a lot of teachers from alternative tracks, like Teach For America.

And they find that starting with a younger or more inexperienced teacher allows them to more effectively inculcate those ideas.
