“Genuine education equity will be achieved only when schools serving low-income children mirror in number, variety, and access the options that affluent parents have come to expect for their children.”
Robert Pondiscio, How The Other Half Learns: Equality, Excellence, and the Battle Over School Choice

“What Eva Moskowitz appears to have created is something unprecedented in contemporary education: a mechanism for a critical mass of engaged and invested low-income families of color to self-select into schools where their attitudes, values, and ambitions for their children make them culture keepers and drivers, not outliers.”
Robert Pondiscio, How The Other Half Learns: Equality, Excellence, and the Battle Over School Choice

“That lesson is unambiguous: culture matters. But it cannot be imposed. If a government takes its legitimacy from the consent of the governed, so does a school. The full benefit and effect is obtained only when all parties involved share a common vision, entered voluntarily and by choice.”
Robert Pondiscio, How The Other Half Learns: Equality, Excellence, and the Battle Over School Choice
