Children are individuals, and individuals deserve choices. The best choice we can give our children is an education pathway customized to their needs. Education choice also means letting parents and communities work with children to discover what works best for them.
American culture has always protected and cherished the individual. If society is to raise strong, free-thinking individuals, then that means giving those individuals full independence during the most formative years of their life. It means giving each child, each family, and each community an equal opportunity in education.
