host: joining us is chris edwards. this is dale from riverdale, maryland. good morning. hello, thank you for having me. i was listening to a little bit of your chat this morning, mr. edwards and my biggest question is, you suggest that the states should have the freedom to make their own decisions, personally, i think you are giving the states too much credit. the idea of fairness across the board with teachers and preschool and etc., i am certain that if you let it -- left it up to the states you would have a collage of different things going on. my question is that if you are suggesting that they should take care of it, why haven't they up to this point? guest: that is something, if you think that these schools are not up to good standards in your state, then you should advocate for change at your state legislature or with your local school board, for example. what you call collage i call diversity and i think it is a good thing. for example, with teachers if -- one-size-fits-all policies do not make sense if you think about the different cost of living in new york city
