Pennsylvania Private School Principal:

"We have a group of staff members that put students first.

Our teachers took the approach that they are essential.

And not only did they say it - they proved it - and taught in person."
"There will be no gap year at Bishop McCort.

But there will be for those who wanted to come but couldn't afford it.

School choice is the path to help our families win."

Why would giving families a choice "drain" money from public schools?🤔
We should be investing in students, not institutions.

Fund students, not systems.
I wonder if 90% of children would attend public schools if their families had real exit options?🤔

why would giving families a choice "defund" public schools if private schools "lack accountability"?🤔
School choice doesn't "defund" public schools

Public schools defund themselves by failing to meet the needs of families.
School choice doesn't "defund" public schools

Public schools defund families.

Education funding is meant for educating children - not for protecting a particular institution.

"COVID-19 didn’t break the public school system—in many ways, it was already broken.

The past year simply shined a light on the main problem with K-12 education in America: a long-existing massive power imbalance between the public school monopoly and individual families."
"The key takeaway is that the school reopening debate has been more about political partisanship and power dynamics than actual safety concerns and the needs of millions of families."
