Selective high schools provide a lifeline for gifted students who would otherwise be trapped in failing school districts
K–12 Education
Parents and students should have more sovereignty over their children’s education, especially by enabling parents to use Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) to supplement their children’s brick-and-mortar schooling. The landmark enactment of universal ESAs in Arizona, in which every K-12 pupil will receive $6,500 for tutoring, technology, and instructional expenses, is a model for every other state. Microschools and charter schools give parents additional affordable options for their children. Well-designed testing is a key element to helping students succeed in school.
All K–12 Education
Policymakers should leverage 529 accounts to help all children choose the best education and job training opportunities throughout their lives.
