Every parent in the United States of America deserves to give his child the best educational option.
For families across the country, choosing the best school for their child is the first step. However, many parents are hindered by mandatory school district taxes. Because they fund local public schools, parents often feel obligated by finances or geography to attend these schools regardless of quality or ability to meet student needs.
In essence, parents are paying twice if they want an alternative to public school, whether they choose a private, charter, online, or home school.
National School Choice Week highlights this issue and the need for parents to be able to put funds toward the true school of their choice. Here's a video from the Heritage Foundation explaining school choice.
