Douglas Forrester on Education

Parents should be able to remove kids from failing schools

Teachers and school administrators must be held accountable for the success or failure of their students. Parents must have the power to remove their children from schools that continually fail to educate them. Every parent must have this opportunity, not just the wealthy. And the federal government can help parents by increasing the amounts parents can invest in Education IRA's. Lastly, we must encourage greater moral clarity in what is taught.
