    A great example of choice and freedom in education are 529 plans. The federal government respects each state's right to offer, operate and design plans tailored to their own unique needs – a rare instance where Washington stuck to its appropriate role.

        What are you talking about? 529 plans are investment vehicles, not education standards.

        Do you think that is going to help a child from a home where the parent is addicted and the child scrounges for food? Schools feed them two meals a day. Their parents don’t care but their hero teachers who live in poverty themselves do all they can.

        529 plans are really great if you're rich. No so great for the vast majority of family. Where is their choice?

        You don't really think we're that stupid, do you? Public schools & programs, including meals 4 needy kids, need to be 100% funded. Stop diverting federal dollars 4 education 2 private schools YOU own & sponsor. Every child deserves an education, not just the rich ones. #DumpDeVos

        What does a savings plan have to do with school choice? I'm pro school choice too, it just needs to be better than private charters and religious organizations subsidizing the well-to-do at the expense of the public system. I would love for you to cite a real study just once.

        Betsy, Betsy, Betsy..... Most people who save using 529 plans can already afford to send their children to college. It is a convenient savings vehicle that I highly recommend but it has nothing to do with choice or freedom in education. Your comment proves you are unqualified.
