BY December 20, 2016
In an opinion piece in The Washington Post, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel redirects our attention to parents in the hoopla of U.S. education secretary nominee Betsy DeVos.

Check out the article to see why Mayor Emanuel thinks that "promoting choice at the expense of quality isn’t an education strategy" and what education policy leaders can do to provide the quality choices that students deserve.
