DURHAM, N.C. — Hillary Clinton made a pitch for public schools at a get-out-the-vote rally on Thursday, proposing to create a teaching task force that would recruit more young people and midcareer professions to the country’s struggling public schools.
“I think public education needs some T.L.C.: Teaching, Learning and Community,” she told a rowdy crowd at Hillside High School, a predominantly black public school. “Thousands of teachers cannot make ends meet, are leaving the profession.”
Mrs. Clinton mentioned seeing crumbling schools in rural South Carolina and urban classrooms in Detroit infested with rodents and mold. She said that when she traveled across the country as first lady she would apply what she called “the Chelsea test” to public schools she would visit.
“I would say to myself ‘Would I send my daughter there?’” she said. “A lot of places, the answer was yes, and proud to do it, but too many times the answer was no.”
The plan came days after Mrs. Clinton defended teachers’ unions at a Democratic debate in Flint, Mich., on Sunday. .....

Just curious: do you have a subscription?
I don't and while I am able to read most articles, if I want to post anything, I have to retype it in its entirety. I even had to type out the headline. This only seems to happen with the NYT.
