Are you dissatisfied with the education your children are currently getting at public school? Are you ready to take control?
Nebraska's No-Choice Status
Nebraska is one of just a handful of states without school choice options like charter schools, Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), tax-credit scholarships, and school vouchers. Why? Union-beholden state legislators have failed for years to pass school choice measures that would give parents options that are proving to be very effective for students across the country. And groups like Nebraska Loves Public Schools labor diligently to spread misinformation about school choice in an attempt to tighten and broaden control of education.
In the meantime, public school test scores remain dismal as schools focus more on comprehensive sex education and social justice issues than on academic subjects and critical thinking. Not one Nebraska public high school ranks in the country's Top 500 high schools.
Are parents left helpless?
Educational technology and a blossoming of resources and cooperatives in Lincoln and around the state are coming to the rescue. Union-backed legislators and the Sherwood Foundation may be able to keep Nebraska legally in the dark ages, but they can't keep parents from doing what's best for their kids.
If you have school-aged children, you know that you can't wait around for legislators to do right by your kids. They're growing up now, and they only get one shot at childhood. But never fear. The tools are available for you to craft the just-right education your children need. No one knows your kids better than you, no matter what the "experts" tell you.
Get Involved
State legislators have the power to pass legislation that would open up increased education opportunities for children across the state, and many of these opportunities would actually lower the tax burden on Nebraska taxpayers. Contact your state senator and ask him or her to support school choice legislation in the upcoming session. Also, get in touch with us to learn more about how you can help.
