My spouse is a teacher who has focused their career on underprivileged students in a variety of schools - charter, low SES, yuppie. They strongly support question 2. I can't lay out a detailed argument for it, but I trust that it's going to remove yet another hurdle from those struggling in school (and those already overburdened while teaching), and is not a significant loss to education quality.
