Do you support the “Education Freedom Account” program, which gives students access to the per-pupil share of state school funding to spend on private school or home school expenses?
"I believe we need to do everything we can when it concerns our children. We need to provide as much funding as possible for Homeschooling so parents have the freedom to decide what is best for their children. In the end it means more options for parents and children and the more options there are always leads to better results. We also need to help create more Trade Schools as another option for a career."
