School Choice.
Those words send fear through the ranks of Teachers Unions.
They have a strangle hold on public education, and they want to keep it. For them, it’s big business.
Good teachers are a national treasure. Bad teachers are protected by the unions, and parents are stuck with the results.
Students excel when given the right learning environment, and it begins with good teachers.
More money doesn’t mean better education. States are spending huge amounts of money with little or no accountability for outcomes. Many good teachers use their own money to buy classroom supplies (in public schools) because the dollars don’t reach the classroom.
As long as the Teachers Union is allowed to hold a monopoly on education, the tax dollars will continue to flow and education of our children will suffer.
Let parents choose and let the best teachers teach.

I wonder though. How long before the government controls what is taught in alternate schools because they receive government money? It looks good, but. It is my understanding that Hillsdale College doesn’t take any government money and their students can’t even be on food stamps as the college doesn’t want the government to have any say in its curriculum.
