K-12

Florida again leads the way by supporting a wide range of private and public school choices for families, a blossoming of freedom that DeSantis helped bolster as a top priority upon taking office in 2019. 

The new Prop. 13, very much unlike the iconic original, hurts taxpayers.

Mediocrity has become normalized and institutionalized.

Oscar Wilde once said, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.”

The good news is that civics education, which teaches children the basics of good citizenship, is quickly gaining fans after being dormant for decades.

In the land of the free, surely choice eventually will triumph over the dreary imposed sameness of a Common Core.

Supporters of education reform who advocate for government-funded choice mechanisms, such as vouchers, tend to argue the problems in K–12 schools in the United States are primarily economic matters, not pedagogical. This view is validated by much data, but the concept ought to be extended further to say the economic marketplace in which K–12 education operates needs more than vouchers to become as efficient as it needs to be to deliver a quality education to each and every child.
