Parental Choice Movement

Choice as a concept seems simple enough: As a parent, you know the most and care the most about your child, and education is an indisputable part of a child's rearing. A parent ought to have the ability to make the best decision for their child's future.

We are blessed with a strong public school system in the United States and in most cases our children receive a splendid education, but we all know that right now many children in our country are trapped in failing schools. They cannot wait for another study, another task force or more excuses. Nor are huge taxes increases and higher appropriations the Answer, as many of the nation's worst school districts are also the best funded. These children need help now. Their future depends on it.

Parental choice sometimes means different solutions in different states. It is important, however, for more viable educational options to exist to break the mold of our one-size-fits-all approach.
