Remember school choice? The Connecticut chapter of Americans for Prosperity do, and they are taking part in a simulcast event on it Jan. 26th. We encourage our homeschooling friends–and others who care about parents having more say in their children’s education–to attend. Details are provided by AFPF-CT:

American 15-year-olds rank 35th out of 57 countries in math and literacy!  America shouldn’t be 35th in anything.  It’s time to Restore American Exceptionalism!  Rather than protecting and promoting failure, let’s put our kids first. Let’s do even more to support the teachers and the schools that are succeeding, but let’s hold those that are failing firmly accountable. Whether it’s a private school, a charter school, or a traditional public school, parents should have the right to choose the school that will do the best job educating my children. Every child deserves the best education we can give them – and every family has a right to choose the education that’s best for their child. Restoring American exceptionalism to our schools and putting kids first isn’t a Republican issue or a Democrat issue.  It’s an American issue.  Join the conversation today! Join AFPF-Connecticut in a simulcast event with everything you need to know about school choice!

When:  Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 7:00p Where: SBC Restaurant & Brewery 850 W Main Street Branford, CT

    I’m kind of confused. Who doesn’t already have the right to choose where their children go to school? Who ultimately doesn’t have control of what their children learn? Where is parental responsibility in all this — the responsibility to make sure your children understand and do their schoolwork, the responsibility to monitor their achievement, the responsibility to supplement their educations where you feel it is needed?
