Off topic a bit, but it's clear--both statistically and anecdotally--that early education helps later on. Anything to help that, including families who take education seriously and are involved at home and through school, leads to better outcomes.

A quick note on charter schools: while there are some examples of success, most studies and outcomes show they're not nearly as great as they claim. Self-selection and disciplinary options, along with many other factors, cloud the actual results.

Full disclosure: I'm both a middle-class suburban public school teacher and affluent private school program director.
