Rosa Alanis, the principal of Golder College Prep, one of the Noble network schools, says all herpupils have a teacher as a designated adviser, whom they see twice every school day.Attendance and performance are the advisers' responsibility, so they go to great lengths toensure their charges show up, dress properly in their uniform of grey trousers and bluesweaters, and work hard. Ms Alanis herself looked after a group of 13 “challenging” boys. Inone case she even drove to a pupil's house to get him to come to school. He was still in hispyjamas, but obeyed.

洛萨·阿兰尼斯是黄金大学预科的校长，这所学校是高尚网络特许学校中的一所，他说他所有的学生有一名老师当他们的指定建议人，这些老师每天需要和学生见两次面。学生出勤和日常成绩是这些建议人的职责，因此他们在学校里花很长时间保证他们的职责体现出来，统一穿着制服—灰裤子和蓝毛衣，并且辛勤工作。阿兰尼斯自己则负责13名“具有挑战性”的男生小组。一次她甚至开车去学生家里将他接到学校。虽然他还穿着睡衣，但还是被许可上学。

Mr Emanuel is keen on charter schools, but he didn't mention them when he presented hissecond-term plans for education. Instead he promised to put Wi-Fi in all classrooms, and toensure that every family would be within three miles of a high school offering some specialfocus, such as science or the International Baccalaureate. Presumably, he did not want toannoy those who think that charter schools leave public schools in the dumps. In fact,competition has prodded public schools to shape up a bit. The drop-out rate has gone downand ACT scores have slightly improved, albeit from a very low level.

艾玛努尔很倾向于特许学校，但是他在陈述第二期教育计划是没有提及它们。然而他承诺所有教室通上Wi-Fi，并且保证每个家同在三英里内都有高中等措施则引起了特别的关注，再例如理科或者国际文凭的开展。可以推测的是，他想顺着那些持有特许学校将公立学校遗弃到垃圾堆观点的人们。事实上，竞争已经刺激公立学校改进了一些。辍学率已经下滑而且尽管ACT得分还是很低，但已经轻微上扬。
