Choice in education benefits the community

March 2, 2016 Leave a Comment

envelope(Heights Observer) “We should not view EdChoice as a threat to the CH-UH schools, but as a win-win. EdChoice can remove a roadblock for many choosing to raise a family in the Heights, with the net effect of benefiting the entire community.”

Choosing the appropriate type of education and school for our children is a fundamental liberty. In Cleveland Heights and University Heights, options range from public schools to parochial schools, private schools and homeschooling. Unfortunately, for many families, the tuition of parochial and private schools eliminates these options.

cakeHappy Birthday, Milton Friedman!

Today, Milton Friedman, the Jewish Nobel Prize-winning economist and school choice advocate, would have celebrated his 101st birthday. In what may be considered a birthday present, July 31st was also the deadline to apply for Ohio’s new voucher program for low-income students. Thanks to Friedman’s idea and the Ohio legislature’s support, dozens of Cleveland students will receive an EdChoice scholarship this month to attend a Jewish kindergarten of their choice.
