Inspiration for Joining the Educational Choice Movement

Though I graduated from a traditional public school, I understand that what worked for me as a K–12 student may not necessarily work for someone else, and I firmly believe every family deserves to have knowledge of and access to a high-quality education that works for their child. To me, choice means chance—a real opportunity to access the type of education that fits your family’s needs without the costly, and for some, unrealistic, burden of moving. Choice introduces competition in education with the ultimate goal of raising the level of achievement for all students regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status or ZIP Code. The school choice movement is empowering parents, community members, policymakers and other allies across the country to demand more in terms of education and be real advocates for change. Simply put, choice just makes sense, and I knew in my bones I needed to be a part of this effort.
