– Tens of millions of Americans are preparing to celebrate National School Choice Week, Jan. 21 to 27, in the United States. Our goal is to keep our focus on parents and kids, not politicians or politicians.
National School Choice Week will see schools of all types – traditional public, charter and magnet, online and private – join homeschool groups to recognize the uniqueness and effectiveness of their educational environments.
National School Choice Week, an awareness initiative that is nonpartisan, provides an opportunity for parents to have conversations about education outside of the political arena.
This is crucial because education is not only a matter for the government, but it is personal.
School choice, at its core, affirms the special bond between parents & children. Parents can use school choice to help them turn their love for their children into actions. They can talk with their children to determine the right school for them and work together to find the best environment. It also recognizes the fact that although one school may be a good fit, it might not be the best fit for every student.
Parents who wish to teach their children Mandarin can exercise their school choice rights and send their children to a school that teaches Mandarin. Parents who feel their kids need to spend a lot of time outside or want to confirm their faith tradition can also follow this path. Parents who have never been to college but still want their children to have the opportunity to do so can search for a college prep option.
Many reasons influence the choice of schools. According to a survey, Indiana parents ranked academics, social skills and diversity among the factors they considered.
These choices are a reflection of the individualism and diversity of our country and should be celebrated. We all share one goal, regardless of where we are on the political spectrum: to unlock the potential to success and happiness in all children through a great educational system that is tailored to them and their goals.
