Or at least it seems that way lately! We're inviting our listeners to give to the Lutheran Elementary School Scholarship with The Annie Frey Show, and excited to usher in this week. Today we get an update on school choice with the Senior Fellow at the American Culture Project.

Darrell Jones from the Herzog Foundation talks about the difference between vouchers and ESAs (Education Savings Account). We also discuss the fact that more parents than ever are considering alternatives to traditional public schools. From The Lion newsletter at ReadLion.com: A new survey shows that more parents than ever are considering alternatives to traditional public schools. A majority of parents in the U.S. reported exploring different school choices for their children last school year. That’s according to the National School Choice Awareness Foundation (NSCAF), which released its annual parent survey in conjunction with National School Choice Week (Jan. 26 - Feb. 1, 2025). How does your state rank in education freedom? In honor of National School Choice Week 2025, one policy group has revealed which states are providing the most education freedom to students. The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has released its 2025 Index of State Education Freedom, providing a detailed analysis of a variety of school choice options in all 50 states. In order, the eight states given top scores were Arizona, Florida, Iowa, West Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas, Alabama and Louisiana. Eleven states scored highest for homeschooling freedom, including several that are often antagonistic to school choice. Alaska, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Texas all received A’s.

It's an activist organization spending our money all around the world, and not President Trump has essentially shut it down. "Foundation For Freedom Online" founder Mike Benz describes USAID this way: "There is no aid in USAID. Your brain is being tricked when you see the phrase "USAID." It's not an aid organization. USAID stands for US Agency for International Development. What it's developing internationally is all of the institutions that the State Department needs to use. When they are capacity-building activist groups in a foreign country, it is because the State Department wants those activists there."

This week parents, educators, and students nationwide are celebrating National School Choice Week, an annual event highlighting education options available to K-12 children today. School choice means empowering parents to choose the educational environments that will best help their children succeed. To really improve academic outcomes in Oregon, families must be able to send their children to schools that meet their learning needs. Here are three ways Oregon leaders can expand educational opportunity during the 2025 Legislative Session, now underway in Salem: Raise the cap on virtual charter school enrollment so successful charter schools can serve more students. Currently, school districts may prevent students from enrolling in virtual charter schools if three percent of the district's students are already enrolled in a virtual charter school sponsored by another district. Expand public school transfer policies so students can attend different public schools with open seats. This would help district schools respond to students' needs and reward those that achieve better outcomes. Enact an Education Savings Account (ESA) program so students choosing to opt in can use their state-level, per-pupil education funds where they learn best. 17 states currently have ESA programs. When parents have choices, students have better opportunities to learn, grow, and reach their potential. Oregon education policies should expand students' options, so all children can have an effective, meaningful, and empowering school experience.

It's National School Choice Week, when advocates spotlight education options outside the public system, like private, charter and homeschooling. Government support for those options will be hotly contested in the state Legislature this year.

January 26-February 1 will be the 15th annual National School Choice Week, the world's largest celebration of parental choice and effective education options for all children. National School Choice Week (NSCW) “informs, inspires, and empowers parents to discover the K-12 education options available for their children.” Week organizers say the event will partner with 209 schools and organizations in Oregon to raise awareness of the K-12 education options available to students here, including traditional public, charter, magnet, online, private, and home schools. School choice means empowering parents to choose the educational environments that will best help their children succeed. Thirty-three states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico have expanded students' academic opportunities through 75 school choice programs. More than 22 million students are eligible to participate in a school choice program—about 40% of all students nationwide. When parents have choices, students have more opportunities for their individual learning needs and goals to be met. Oregon should put parents “in the driver's seat” of their children's education through school choice, so all students can have access to an effective, meaningful, and empowering education.

Shaunette Parker, Director of Awareness Events for National School Choice Week, discusses the education climate in South Carolina and the importance of education choice.

She also discusses the work of the National School Choice Week organization in raising awareness and providing resources for families. The challenges facing the school choice movement include the misappropriation of funds and the polarization of opinions on education funding. The National School Choice Week Foundation measures success through media coverage, website traffic, and the growth of new schools and education programs. Community events and awareness campaigns help foster a better understanding of school choice options among parents and students. It is important to meet families where they are and build trust by engaging with trusted community resources. Strategies for engaging underserved communities include talking to families, letting go of stereotypes, and understanding their unique challenges. The goals for the Education Foundation include expanding awareness campaigns, supporting grassroots communities, and providing concrete tools and resources for parents. The hope for the future of school choice is to expand programs, bridge funding gaps, and ensure that families are part of the education system.   Takeaways Education choice is important for providing options and opportunities for families, especially those from underrepresented groups.

Navy SEAL deployments are often long and grueling, and leaving school-age children behind only adds to the challenge, especially if the children are struggling in school. If a father is “getting ready to go on mission, and there's Timmy failing in second grade, that's all he's going to think about,” says Gretchen McIntosh, the executive director of SEALKIDS. And for the mothers at home with a husband deployed and a child struggling academically, McIntosh says, Mom is often “stressed out” by the task of meeting the needs of a “child at home that has a learning disability.” Out of seeing an immense need for additional educational support for many Navy SEAL families, the organization SEALKIDS was born. “SEALKIDS steps in so that Dad can concentrate on his mission ahead, because we're handling the mission at home,” McIntosh explains. SEALKIDS not only connects families to tutors and other education resources in their area, but also raises funds to help the families pay for those additional resources. SEALKIDS is active in 17 states and is serving 390 kids this year, with a focus on helping children with learning disabilities. McIntosh joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” during National School Choice Week to share the stories of the families the organization has helped and to explain how it hopes to expand its work to serve even more SEAL families.

Robin Cecere, Regional School Choice Office (RSCO) Spokesperson. January 21 – January 27 is National School Choice Week, which encourages families to explore the best school choice options for their children.

Full text: January 21-27 is National School Choice Week, the world's largest annual celebration of parental choice and effective education options for all children. In 2024, 183 Oregon schools and organizations will participate in National School Choice Week to raise awareness about K-12 education in our state. The landscape of options for Oregon students includes district public schools, public charter schools, private and parochial schools, homeschooling, magnet schools, online learning, and microschools. Different learning environments meet the needs of unique students in the ways they learn best. Empowering parents to choose among all options unlocks the potential of each child. Last year, seventeen states enacted or expanded school choice programs. Approximately 20 million American children—about 36% of students—are now eligible to participate in a private choice program. As part of National School Choice Week, Education Freedom for Oregon and the National School Choice Awareness Foundation will host a school fair at the Salem Convention Center on Saturday, January 20th. This free event will showcase Oregon schools representing a range of education options. Attendees can meet educators and get questions answered to help make informed choices for their families.

This week is National School Choice Week, a series of events to draw attention to various school choice initiatives across the country. For any one unfamiliar with school choice initiatives, these are policies to make it easier on parents to send their students to a school of their own choice. These educational options may include charter schools or private schools but at its heart, these are schools that provide the best fit for a student. On this week's episode of Developing Classical Thinkers, Winston Brady speaks with Ray Nothstine, Senior Writer & Editor at State Policy Network. Ray joins the program to talk about school choice initiatives and how they help provide better educational outcomes for students and parents, why they tend to be popular across the political spectrum, and why they are important to sustaining a free and virtuous citizenry.For more information about school choice policies, check out https://schoolchoiceweek.com/.
