Episode 25: What Next? The Future of Public Education
In America, families have many choices when it comes to educating their children. Of course, there is public school education. Less common options include private and parochial education. For most families, private and parochial school education is not an option because it would chew up a large chunk of their monthly budgets. Some families are able to use vouchers to help offset the cost of these non-public options. In this episode, I look at school vouchers, executive orders related to mandates from the federal government about education, and of course the children at the very center of the debate.
