I read an fascinating article on Texas Public Policy. Thousands of parents wish for their child to get the best education possible. However, some parents are unable to send their children to the schools they desire. Possibly because it is too expensive or it may not be in their district. Many Texans have had enough with this system. They want their education freedom where they may send their child wherever they wish and receive more benefits.
In Peggy Venable's article Texans Embrace Education Freedom, she mentions how Texas is behind. Thirty other states in the U.S. have passed more than 60 private school programs. Although kids are doing fine in public schools here, parents are saying that schools are more focused on the adults rather than the students. Venable mentions how"School boards are passing resolutions opposing transparency and accountably, demanding more funding and rejecting school choice." Even the Texas Constitution says we have to establish an efficient system of public free schools. In addition, parents are wanting education fund that follows their child to the school that the parent chooses. All in all, Texans want more options, they want education freedom.
There is a lot more that Venable has to say about this matter, read the article to find out. We are all currently enrolled in school right now which makes this an interesting article to read about. Also, it may give you a grasp of how good or how bad schools will be in terms of education and giving students more options in future generations. Will funding increase for schools? Will parents have more options of giving their child the best education? Lastly, out Texas and Local government is embedded into this topic. The school system is a huge part of our state and local government.
