Over the past four years, millions of families have been met with a stark reality: our educational system is broken.
Fewer than one-in-three children are proficient in math or reading. Most high school graduates feel unprepared for college or a career. Parents are rightly concerned about what their kids are learning in the classroom.
The result? An estimated 1 million students have left public schools since 2020.
Let’s face it: there’s no such thing as an average kid. Every child is an individual with unique talents and interests. But right now, the American approach to education doesn’t see kids as individuals; it sees them in terms of test scores, numbers, and averages.
Our educational system is rooted in a top-down, one-size-fits-all approach that emphasizes standardization, uniform outcomes, and control.
It’s time we create educational opportunities free of arbitrary constraints – built to accommodate each child, not averages. Families deserve true educational freedom that restores their role as the primary decision-makers in their children’s education.
It’s time we empower every child to discover and develop his or her talents so they can unlock their full potential.
