Arkansas LEARNS is helping more students access learning opportunities that fit their individual needs.

By expanding educational options and giving families greater flexibility, the program is empowering parents and helping students succeed.

It'll be America's 250th birthday soon, but just how much of its history is known by our K-12 students? In collaboration with Morning Consult, EdChoice polled a representative sample of American parents and asked questions about civics education.

Watch this young man talk about how school choice changed his life.

His father died in a trucking accident when he was 15 and he got a private school scholarship.

"@ACEscholarships carried me when I was running on fumes."

He is now the owner of his own trucking company.

"Apprenticeship does something American education and workforce training policy too rarely gets right. It blends learning and earning instead of forcing people to choose between school and work." https://t.co/MsoF8bcHMy

In our Spring Teacher Survey, EdChoice researchers found that educators aren't feeling very hopeful about the state of education. As our Director of National Research, Mike McShane, describes in this clip, classroom discipline issues and chronic absenteeism likely contributes to teachers' frustrations and burnout.

In our teacher poll, we saw large support for school choice among teachers. Support varies based on the program type, but one thing is clear: teachers within the public school system love choice as well as those outside that system.

Tobin Slaven decided the traditional school system wasn't good enough for his own five kids. So he and his wife built something better, Acton Academy Fort Lauderdale. Four years in: Gold Status 3 years running, 90% retention, growing toward 100+ learners who do hard things and earn new levels of freedom every day. This is Indie Education.

[Nicki Neily @nickineily]

⁨”Many educators and parents feel that the nation’s largest teachers unions are actively working against them.”

This is causing a major educational shift. If current schools will not educate students, families and teachers will build alternatives that do.

[Stand Together @StandTogether]

More school options don't always make decisions easier. For millions of parents, the search for the right school starts with information they don't have.
