What reforms do you think would improve the quality of education in Boston’s schools?
They need books. You see a lot kids coming out of school without books. They come home with photocopies. Dennis

A longer school day. They also need more after-school programs so kids will stay out of trouble.

The most fundamental thing would be to improve reading skills. Reading is basic and fundamental to their education.

They could find better teachers. They need textbooks. They could also teach more black history. It’s important. It would keep the students more engaged.

Top of the list is money. They need more money. And they need more qualified teachers. Also, they need more programs. They’re hardly doing sciences, there’s no arts or music or extracurricular activities.
 Tonya Hamilton

I think the students need more encouragement and more after-school programs. Kids shouldn’t be spending so much time on the street.
