Hey! It’s National School Choice Week!
Every day has at least one thing for which it is a “National Day” – there are hundreds, if not thousands, of them. And, of course, every week is a “National Week” for something. Most are frivolous attempts at marketing but occasionally one comes along that we can really get behind, and this is one of them.
At the website for NSCW (National School Choice Week, of course) they walk us through the subject and begin with a definition: “School choice means giving parents access to the best K-12 education options for their children. These options include traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, online academies, and homeschooling.”
Most of us don’t really need to be told this but it’s nice to see it so concisely put. The website turns out to actually be quite a valuable resource. It begins with a search feature that will help you find a school nearby of whatever type you might be interested. This in itself could save a lot of time and frustration and might be just what you need to get started.
Want to know what the situation is in your state, particularly regarding non-traditional choices? It can help you discover this as well.
One feature that looks interesting is the “Ultimate guide to each kind of school”. You may find a school choice you weren’t aware of or about which you want to learn more.
There’s lots more to discover and the website turns out to be a well thought out approach to school choice that will be very handy to a lot of parents.
We urge you to go see for yourself why this is one National Week that is indeed worth while! Click Here: NSCW
