I didn't design schools for poor kids. I'm designing schools to be world-class. ”

I've never believed the charter movement was exclusively for socially and economically disadvantaged kids. ”

I assure you: If I were to hear a teacher raise a voice at a kid or anything, that goes against the model, and I would immediately address it. ”

Sometimes when kids look like they're daydreaming, it's because they are, and we can't allow that possibility. ”

What you get is what you see, which is suspending kids doesn't lead to high attrition rate. That is what the data shows. ”

Success isn't ideal for every child. If we think a child would do better in a different school, whether it's a specialized program or just a school with a different approach, we'll tell a parent that, as we should. ”

No matter how good a teacher is, if that teacher won't play as part of the team, you're better off without her. ”

I love working with teachers and principals; they are my heroes. They are very dedicated to children, and it's very impactful. ”

Part of me would love to be mayor for the simple reason that I love my city. ”

Self-delusion is rarely a good strategy for effective management. ”
