No one school can serve all students equally well. Ultimately,school choice is about enabling all parents to enroll theirchildren in the public, public charter, private, or home schoolsthat best meet their individual needs. School choice maximizes thebenefits of America's sizable investment in education to ensurethat all children have an opportunity to succeed.
Members of Congress will soon have the opportunity to grantlow-income District of Columbia families the chance to choose wheretheir children attend school. If every Member who uses privateschools votes to give disadvantaged D.C. families the same access,the legislation will pass. In the past three years, every piece ofparental choice legislation would have passed if those whoexercised choice in their own families had voted with supporters ofschool choice.
