[Guest post by OCPA intern Emily Solomon]
The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) recently hosted a panel discussion that explored the future of school choice.
Since 1990, we have seen an 80 percent increase in the number of school choice programs in the United States. Joe Williams, executive director of Democrats for Education Reform, believes that future expansion is inevitable. However, in order for expansion to occur, we must first realize the following:
· Vouchers are not an intervention; they’re an opportunity
· Parents choose schools holistically, so higher test scores are not the sole indicator of success
· School choice is about social justice and providing lower-income people with more opportunities
