It’s 10 PM, Do You Know Where Your Children Are?

Not so long ago, parents only had to worry when their children ventured outside the safety of the four walls of the family home. But times have changed.

Every Family Already Has a School Choice Tool. Most Aren’t Using It.

For most of its history, school choice meant exactly that: a choice of schools. One building or another. Usually, the assigned public school or the nearest private one. The argument was about where a child sat from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. That argument is over. A larger one has taken its place. The question now is not where a child learns, but how.
