What choice do you make for your child’s education?

12 January 2012 One Comment Michelle Reese

Arizona often ranks very high in the country for school choice. I wrote a piece for the Tribune last week about this fact – and asked different groups to talk about whether or not that translates into a better education system in the state.

Now I ask you. What choice do you make for your child’s education? Do you haveel you have a choice? In some cases, families choose their neighborhood school. Some choose private education. Some pick a program in a district on the way to work.

The reasons for the choice vary, from a desire for a more challenging program to  a desire for a different type of educational format to the need for afterschool care by a family member.

Most families, when asked about the quality of education provided by their child’s school, will rank that facility high, but the state low.

Why did you make the choice you did? Are you considering another option? Why?

    Well, for me, it doesn’t matter if what you school a child may go or attend, the first knowledge and skills may acquire comes from home. We must also consider that we become a good model for the child. Secondly, whether you put the child to a prestigious, known and high standard school, it should be in our concern that if the child is not really into studying thing, it’s not the school that will motivate him/her. It’s the child’s parents.
