Education Fighting Back

sure be a bummer! Well, kinda…

Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans have spent years aggressively turning the state into a haven for school choice. They have been wildly successful, with tens of thousands more children enrolling in private or charter schools or homeschooling.

I sure wish other states would put the money on the child rather than the district! I wish my state did!
