Randi Weingarten, President of the AFT, discusses the recent passage of school choice bills in Texas and South Carolina, allowing parent choice in education across 17 states. She critiques the lack of options in many regions, where parental choices are limited by bureaucratic decisions based on residency. The article highlights how unions often oppose school choice due to fears of losing competition and how this maintains the status quo, impacting children's education negatively. The call is for a systemic shift to prioritize parental choice in schooling rather than bureaucratic control.
Consumer choice is a big reason capitalist countries outperform socialist ones. In most of America, parents have little or no choice when it comes to which school their kids attend.
Some parents, desperate to get their kids out of a bad school, are jailed for lying about where they live. All parents should get to choose which school their kids attend.
Unions don't want competition. They don't want people to be able to take their kids somewhere else because they know that they're failing your children.
Education funding is supposed to be meant for educating children, not for protecting government schools.
