A decade of scholarship programs shows that parent choice, not regulation, drives better schools. When families decide where to send kids, quality improves. Florida is shifting from school choice to education choice, letting parents pick any option.
Accountability isn't just regulations. Accountability is on a continuum that also includes, you know, consumer choice or parent choice. And that end of the accountability spectrum, and this is something I've learned a lot about over the past 10 or 15 years, is pretty exacting. You know, parents make good decisions. They do drive quality. And I think we need to help people understand that accountability isn't just regs. I think we have an opportunity to help people understand that there is evidence, including from our other scholarship programs, that when you have a light touch with the regulations and you put the bulk of the accountability on the parents to drive quality, you get good results.
