Quote

“What makes a good school has very little to do with how rich or poor the students are or the type of curriculum that’s taught.  It has very little to do with special programs, expansive playing fields, huge endowments, snappy uniforms, celebrity alumni, or whether the school is wired to the Internet.  What makes a good school, whether it’s public or private, religious or nonreligious, charter or non-charter, is a feeling.  A feeling shared by the entire staff that their particular school is special. The feeling that their school really belongs to them.”
