Definitely a nice sense of the history.

This is unfortunately written from a half-blind anti-public education slant. Why would Success Academy not be expected do well when choosing it's students from a lottery? That your potential students and families participated in a lottery only demonstrates that you'll be receiving students and families with high motivation and a strong value of education. They'd better do well.

Also with philanthropy covering approximately only one percent of the whole of the US Education budget, how are we going to improve education of all US students by eroding all support for our public education systems?
