joel klein joins us now from new york. mr. klein, eight years later, what do you see as the most significant change in new york schools? >> oh, i think the fact that our families have many more choices. we've opened up almost 500 schools over the last eight years. that's more than most cities have. in doing that instead of saying to families you only have one choice, we've given families throughout the city multiple choices. in independent studies by world class researchers the new schools we're opening including more than 100 charter schools are getting better results than the schools that they replaced, better results than comparable schools. so i think that's probably first and foremost the most important thing. the second thing is that we have built an accountability system that's based on progress so we compare apples to apples not where a child starts but wherever a child starts how much progress she makes and in doing that we certainly have focused the system on progress, on improvement and on outcomes. we've gotten res
