Everywhere around us, our lives are getting more individualized and personalized—and technological and commercial innovation is bringing better and cheaper services into our lives. One of the great exceptions to that is elementary and secondary education, where per-pupil spending climbs as student achievement stays flat or even declines.
If you live in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or Washington, D.C. make time to come hear Reason Foundation's Director of Education Lisa Snell and me make the case for why we need school choice NOW and explain the best ways to expand K-12 reform.
Event details below.
For the past several years, Reason has been a media sponsor of National School Choice Week, which celebrates the idea of giving kids and parents more options when it comes to K-12 education.
This year, Reason Foundation Director of Education Lisa Snell and I will be headlining events in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Washington, D.C.
As Reason calls BS on public education abuses, you'll find out more about zero-tolerance discipline policies, outrageous school spending, and other egregious examples that drive parents to seek school choice.
Also on the curriculum: why competition is healthy, how it leads to better outcomes and what makes it a moral and financial imperative.
