By limiting a child’s education to familial income or property value, students are prevented from reaching their full educational potential. Giving families the choice between different schools allows parents to find a community for their children where their values and ideals align.Įducation creates opportunity. Just as all the properties on a Monopoly board are not created the same, neither are schools or the children who attend them. When families can use their education dollars elsewhere, schools must actively strive to be the best available option. In Florida, for example, the expansion of school choice programs was shown to have increased the quality of nearby public schools through competitive effect. Empirical evidence shows that school choice is a tide that lifts all boats. We know that in our education system, competition is a good thing. School choice is crucial to allowing success for all children.īy creating new opportunities, we can also inspire improvement in the ones that already exist. Education is not a one-size-fits-all affair, and students should have the freedom to seek out what works best for them. Some children need smaller classrooms, special programs, or additional one-on-one time with teachers. While that local public school may work for some students, it won’t work for all. In many states, families that cannot afford a private school education are only able to send their child to the one public school districted to them based on their home address. Specifically, school choice programs allow education dollars to follow students to providers that meet their individual needs. School choice empowers families to find and choose the education that works best for their child.
By letting education money follow the child through school choice programs, we can improve the existing public system while fostering growth in charter, private, and alternative education options. Uprooting your entire family should not be the only way to get access to the best education for a child.

The sad truth is that most of these options are not available to all families. I benefited from the liberal arts education I received from my charter school. My two younger brothers are in a public school and a public charter school. My following two brothers were able to attend a private all-boys school with the help of scholarships. My two eldest siblings both started homeschooling until they were able to attend the public charter school near us. With limited options, my parents used every form of school choice available to find the best education for each of us. With a family of that size, private school was not financially feasible for all of us. In the education monopoly, most families don’t get to choose where their children go to school - all they can do is roll the dice.
