It\u2019s a huge win for the city, and all urban America, that he\u2019s turned to doubling down on this one.<\/p>\n<p>As he wrote in the Journal: The nation needs \u201ca new, stronger model of public education that is based on evidence, centered on children and built around achievement, excellence and accountability for all. The future of America\u2019s most vulnerable children \u2014 and of our country \u2014 is riding on whether we can deliver it.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
