The school choice movement is growing because of real parents with real children, with real needs, who are seeing real benefits. In this video from Louisiana BAEO, parent LeAnn Mason talks about the upside of the voucher program in Louisiana, which is facing a constitutional challenge from the state teachers unions.
Mason said one of her children was in a public school where she endured a string of substitute teachers for two months. To get her to a better school, Mason sent her to live with relatives.
To help another child, Mason used a private school voucher. Now ”my baby’s reading … she’s blossoming,” she said. “And this means a lot to me because this is going to help my children come out of poverty. This is going to help my children do things that I was not able to do.”
Mason makes her case far better than I can. Please watch the video.
