Yes, I believe in school choice. Parents know far better than government bureaucrats what their children need from an education standpoint, and they should be permitted to make that choice.

And there should not be a limit on the creation of new public schools. We ought to expand choices for parents.

So I want my kids to go to public schools because I think it's a better education overall.

There is a growing acceptance and interest in publicly funded school choice as a catalyst for education reform in general and a way to empower parents to be education reformers.

America's public schools have served their purpose. Free and compulsory education was good for a somewhat unpromising young nation.

I believe that we parents must encourage our children to become educated, so they can get into a good college that we cannot afford.

I feel that there is a decision people make to either engage in a legitimately ridiculous process to get your kid into school, or choose not to engage in that so much, and end up finding a nice local school that fits.

Public schools were designed as the great equalizers of our society - the place where all children could have access to educational opportunities to make something of themselves in adulthood.

School choice is the civil rights issue of the 21st century.

I'm a mom, and my view of public education begins and ends with the fundamental question: Is this good for children?
