EXTENDING TAX-CREDIT SCHOLARSHIPS In all, 32 states have implemented some sort of private choice program thus far, and as EdChoice reports, more than one million children now participate in these programs across the U.S. Moreover, 22 million students—or 40% nationwide—are now eligible to participate.

If the government must have a presence in our education system, tax-credit scholarships should be available nationally.

According to a just-released Education Opportunity in America report by 50CAN, only 39% of public school parents are satisfied with their child’s education. Other polling results are also discouraging. Released in August, EdChoice’s annual Schooling in America Survey revealed that 64% of parents think K–12 education in America is on the wrong track. Not only is this an eight-point increase from last year, but it is also the highest level of pessimism among parents since the question was first asked in 2014.
