"Florida now outperforms nearly every other state in the Nation’s Report Card coming from nearly dead last. Nearly half of all students in Florida exercise some sort of choice. And what is happening as more students are empowered with more education freedom? Students in every type of school do better.
"Florida now outperforms nearly every other state in the Nation’s Report Card coming from nearly dead last. Nearly half of all students in Florida exercise some sort of choice. And what is happening as more students are empowered with more education freedom? Students in every type of school do better.
Right now – today – there are students across our country who are far too limited, who have no education freedom. Right now, a student is bored in her math class, but her school building doesn’t offer AP courses. Another student wants to apprentice at a local bank to earn while she learns to pursue a career in finance, but her school district doesn’t credit such opportunities. Another student is breathing in mold, another is dodging fists, and yet another is stepping over rats. And each one is forced to stay in the school that doesn’t work for them simply because they’re assigned there by their zip code.
Those students are relying on us to unlimit their education, to expand their freedom."
by Secretary Betsy DeVos of the National School Board of Education
