Nebraska is still in the embryonic phase of school choice. The elements are there, but it hasn't been launched. Our latency explains why, year after year, we have one of the highest achievement gaps in the nation.
To improve our odds of future success, we can look to states that have blazed school choice trails. These early adopters (Minnesota, Colorado, Wisconsin) are fine-tuning their programs and learning about the long-term effects of providing equal opportunity. At the same time, the entire country is dealing with novel challenges unique to 2020. Parents in every state are grappling with how to keep children on productive trajectories while schools flounder in the wake of government mandates concerning COVID-19. In this podcast, we hear from Kevin Nicholson, CEO of No Better Friend Corp. His Wisconsin-based experiences provide insight about the state of K-12 education in America and why school choice is critical for the future.
