 OUR SHARED CHALLENGE

Providing each and every American school student with the knowledge and skills to succeed in the new century is both an economic necessity and a moral obligation. Opening doors to the American Dream is the legacy that each generation owes to the next. When we fulfill this promise, we are stronger as individuals, as a society and as a nation. Today, the stakes are higher than ever. We cannot afford to fail.

That is why, as leaders of organizations committed to providing high-quality schooling to all students, we have organized the National Council of Education Providers (NCEP). Individually, we are making a difference in our schools and communities. Together, we hope to make a difference in shaping the national debate around the values that have helped make America great:

	Choice, not monopoly
	Results, not excuses
	Innovation, not stagnation
	Boldness, not incrementalism
	Common sense, not ideology

EDUCATIONAL REWARDS
...the Philadelphia results demonstrate that putting schools in private hands could lead to improvements in education. At the very least, the current Philadelphia for-profit schools should be allowed to continue under private management. If results from the first four years continue to hold up, they make a strong case for giving the private sector a larger role in urban education. The Wall Street Journal, November 7, 2007
