With some American colleges charging $100,000 a year, families are right to ask a basic question: What are we actually getting for that price? A college degree can be tremendously valuable, but a prestigious name and an astronomical price tag do not guarantee a strong education, a meaningful career, or a successful future. Parents and students should look beyond rankings and historic reputation and ask about graduation rates, career outcomes, debt, and return on investment. The goal is not simply to get a degree. The goal is to be prepared to succeed. For too long, America has treated a four-year college degree as the default next step after high school. It shouldn’t be. Some students will thrive at a four-year Read More ›

Parents, as your children head back to school, remember this: You know and love your child best. You are your child’s first and most important educator. You have a right to know what your child is being taught, what information the school is keeping about your child, and what decisions are being made that affect your child. Recent court decisions and federal protections have strengthened parental rights. Here are four rights every parent should know, and what you can do to exercise them: You Have the Right to Opt Out Know Your Right: Parents have constitutional protections when school instruction conflicts with their religious beliefs. Recent Supreme Court decisions have strengthened parents’ ability to receive notice and opt their children out Read More ›

President Donald Trump’s recent White House “Back to School and Education Freedom Event” showcased the extraordinary progress his administration has made in just a year and a half to replace federal overreach with parental empowerment and education freedom. As President Trump declared in his remarks, “We’re systematically ending every single one of these radical left betrayals, and we’re putting the parents back in charge. They’re the ones that love our children. They’re the ones that should be in charge.” President Trump and Secretary of Education Linda McMahon understand the fundamental truth that parents, not distant government bureaucrats, belong in the driver’s seat of their children’s education. One of the Trump administration’s most consequential achievements is the nation’s first Education Freedom Tax Credit scholarship program, Read More ›
For far too long, Washington has expanded its control over K-12 education while student learning has continued to decline. However, President Trump is changing course by returning education to the states, advancing education freedom, and restoring parents’ rightful authority over their children’s education. After decades of federal overreach, a long-overdue hard reset for American education is underway. The U.S. Department of Education has been a 45-year, astronomically expensive failure. More than $3 trillion has been spent without improving student learning. While states receive only about 10% of their education funding from the federal government, those dollars bring a disproportionate burden of rules, regulations, and bureaucracy. The result is less freedom to innovate, higher costs, and decision-making increasingly removed from students, parents, and local Read More ›
