Regarding the Feb. 3 editorial "A Boost for D.C. Schools":
My children have D.C. Opportunity Scholarships, and, as a single parent, I thank those who are supporting this program. I want my children to receive outstanding educations. Thanks to the program, my daughters are thriving in private schools that are right for them.
I wanted small class sizes, individual attention and more chances to be involved in their educations. Now I see their enthusiasm for learning, respectful behavior, wonderful grades and healthy self-esteem. I know that they will go on to college and that their futures are bright.
Our city is in dire need of educational restructuring, and I am pleased that Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and his team are focusing on making all schools better. Every child in the District should have the opportunity to receive high-quality education.
Nothing is more important to the future of our city.
