that s no choice at all and certainly not a meaningful one. in denver, we made a different deal, a deal that said we re going to create a public choice system, authorize charters, create innovation schools and strengthen traditional schools. but without exception we demanded quality and implemented strong accountability. and as far as i can tell, detroit and michigan to a degree has followed exactly the opposite path. according to one analysis, the detroit public schools by the way, it s not easy to figure this out because there s so little accountability in michigan. the detroit public schools average 9%, 9% of the kids are proficient. the charter schools do a little better at 14% of the kids are proficie proficient. i ll stipulate that the charter schools are doing better, but that s a horrible outcome for everybody involved. according to an education trust report 2013, the majority of charter schools in michigan perform worse than the detroit in michigan perform

state to end what is called seat time. which requires that all students spend a certain number of hours in their seats on every subject, even if they ve already learned what s expected of them. what if maria mastered tenth grade biology by april instead of june? why not let her jump start on to chemistry? technology can empower our teachers and students, and we must take advantage of it. the 400 innovation schools we are planning reflect our determination to give parents more top-quality school choices, and that our fourth that s our fourth and final strategy. for connecting students to colleges and careers, we ve already created 500 new schools over the past eight years, including 127 new charter schools. there are big reason why student achievement levels have gone up so significantly. and to keep them going up further, we ll create another 100 new, small schools on top of another 100 charter schools.
