YES: The Biggest Education Innovation Is Growing Use of School Choice.

Just how much the world has changed came home to me when the tech at my eye doctor’s office asked about my son, who attended a charter school with her daughter when the kids were younger. I mentioned that he was thriving as a homeschooler and had just started a laboratory biology class at the community college. Her daughter was also homeschooled, she told me. The girl was technically enrolled in the public high school now, but that was mostly to gain access to community college courses. Her daughter already had two years of college credits put away.

“Northern Arizona University offered her a free ride for the last two years,” she told me.

This conversation would have been almost unthinkable when I was in school. But the world has morphed dramatically since then, especially when it comes to our attitude towards education.

Teachers who spent the better part of two years refusing to teach opened a lot of eyes.
