21.   Crew said Friday that he would work to improve the troubled schools.

22.   Crew said he planned to require a year of algebra and a year of a foreign language for a high school diploma.

23.   Crew said he was more pleased with the results of the city-administered math tests.

24.   Crew said he was trying to meet that demand as well with a push to create charter schools independent of the Board of Education and some union rules.

25.   Crew said that he found the reliance of the small schools on foundation grants and certain innovative personalities disturbing.

26.   Crew said the move was in the best interest of the school system.

27.   Crew said there are already laws against urinating in public and public inebriation.

28.   Crew says he will resign if the mayor forces a voucher plan that uses public funds for private or parochial schools.

29.   Crew has said that he sees vouchers as an assault on public education.

30.   Crew said he disagreed.
