    I'm committed to expanding education freedom for families. You've heard me described as “pro-school choice.” Well, I am, but choice in education isn't limited to a student picking this building or that school, not public versus private. Choice in education is bigger than that.

        I bet students and teachers would choose to have fully funded schools, regardless of other factors.

        Parents have always been able to choose private schools. If you can’t afford it, that’s not a taxpayer problem unless there’s a state of emergency. #bye #keepfundingpublicschools

        I hope the more able academically students across America will be challenged to fulfill their potential, unlike the kind of education that public schools gave me.

        That change can only come from parents, IMO.

        As if public schools would ever listen to those who didn't get a PhD in Education. Not invented here syndrome.

        No, I meant that public schools will never change. The best hope for kids is if their parents help them fulfill their potential, whether or not that mean public schools.

        Gotcha. But, well I think we have to hope Secretary @BetsyDeVosED will be able to do that for parents. It's as if the #Resistance movement started in colleges of Education.

        It did. This problem has its roots in the 19th century.

        It's amazing how long you can keep kicking the can down the road. I suppose the qwerty keyboard will be with us for the next several millenia too.

        There needs to be an education policy redpilling like there was for economic & foreign policy in 2016. It will happen.

        Enlighten us about choice being bigger than public vs private. I'm especially curious given how many public schools you've visited.

        Fingers crossed I don't get yelled at here, but I'm guessing she may mean homeschooling, on-line choices, and perhaps charter schools.

        No yelling. It's just a shame she thinks so little of our public schools. They desperately need resources, not their funding to leave with students. That leaves the kids with the most needs with the least funding.

        Well, because you've outlined no plan or policy that ensures a quality education for every student, the public is left to judge by your actions. This suggests you care only for those who are wealthy enough to afford private school or evangelical enough to home school.

        Then prove it and make states allow tax money to move with the student! It cost at minimum 3000$ plus fees to go out of district in SC! Forcing many to choose virtual or option 3 homeschooling if their home brick and mortar is lack luster
