School choice is no silver bullet content and character matter, too Ryan Hooper
The other day, the
Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote a column titled School Choice: Better Than Prozac. While they are correct in this assessment, what they and those on the political Right really need to talk about is how content and character are more important than school choice, for mental health and for students overall.
I am a public school teacher who loves and supports school choice. I have benefited personally from attending my urban Catholic high school. Charter schools and voucher programs have been incredible tools for upward mobility in providing educational opportunities for low-income students.
