I used to wonder why anyone would oppose school choice. Everyone should be aware of alternative options beyond public school. Being a vendor and a speaker at school choice events allowed me to inform others about homeschooling, share my positive experience with it, and provide guidance and advice to those interested.
My perspective on school choice shifted when I learned that school choice involves our government providing and monitoring all forms of education.
It is extremely alarming that bills promoting school choice are gaining traction. An increasing number of states are enacting laws to allow families to use government funds collected through taxes to subsidize their homeschool expenses.
I have come to realize that other parents also have misconceptions about school choice. I hope that by helping you grasp the impact school choice initiatives have on homeschool freedom and parental rights, we can collaborate to protect them.
