OPINION: Wisconsin school choice isn’t controversial among students and families it helps

When you spend every day working to help Milwaukee students achieve success, you are bound to learn a lesson or two yourself along the way. When it comes to parent choice, we have learned the following:

Second, families are not making a political statement when they choose a school. They simply want the freedom to find the best place for their student to receive the support they need to reach their full potential.
