There’s a new kid on the block
A warm welcome to the Coalition for Quality Education, a brand-new grassroots group based in Oakville, ON. The Coalition looks at public education from the point of view of the round-peg students who are being forced square-hole schools. You can read about their mission here.
While I hate to rain on their parade - and, believe me, I’m delighted that they are marching - the Coalition’s goals are the sort of tweaks we supported more than 10 years ago. Because we have been at this game for so long, we have had time to test drive a variety of strategies - including campaigns to make elected officials accountable and transparent. Been there, done that, didn’t work.
That is why the Society for Quality Education now supports school choice, a policy that is designed to do an end run around all of the obstacles that the Coalition is proposing to face head on. We fervently hope that the Coalition will follow the same learning curive that we did, ultimately joining us in our support of school choice.
