National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers, are supposedly all about protecting public school teachers and ensuring they have the best possible working conditions. The NEA and AFT also adamantly oppose education reform initiatives such as vouchers and tax-credit-funded scholarships that empower parents to transfer their children to private or parochial schools.

Catholic High School will give me many opportunities to improve my character that are not provided to me at public schools.

may begin to shift in a direction of voucher systems and charter schooling. The School Choice Movement may make a large appearance in the near future. With Betsy DeVos as the new secretary of education, the School Choice Movement may create a potential shift in how we approach public education. DeVos generally favors vouchers and charter schools. What’s the problem? State dollars go to pay for tuition at private schools. In a scholarship tax credit program, however, the money bypasses state coffers

charter schools have allowed families to exercise school choice, a practice that had begun a few decades earlier when parents preferred to control their children’s education because of religious views or racial prejudices. As dissatisfaction with the performance public schools grew during the late 20th century, parents called on government to subsidize an arrangement where children could receive adequate education outside of the traditional public school system.

Choosing between a public or a private school for one’s education is as important as deciding where to invest one’s hard-earned money—the consequences influence one’s life forever. In the United States, it is the law for every child to be educated. However, the decision as to where to go for one’s education is up to each individual. There is a great deal of debate as to which is the better option: for-profit private schools or one’s local public school. Ultimately, the decision is made regarding

Have you ever attended a private institution? What was your experience like? Think back and compare it to your ideal public school, which one happens to pale in comparison?

article “City Limits on Racial Equality: The Effects of City-Suburb Boundaries on Public School Desegregation” by David R. James(1989), discusses people’s perceptions while choosing schools on the basis of racial mix in students’ population of school. It is argued that public schools have to apply methods of desegregation to ensure proper racial mix in schools. White people from affluent families try to avoid schools that have large populations of black students. Some families that are able to afford
