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 your child's rearing. With this in mind, 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 comprehensive and elite education. But we all know that right now many children in our country are trapped in failing schools. These students 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---our future---depends on it.

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