Jon England's Articles

Schools, stop using these isolation rooms and techniques. They don’t help you or the students you work with.
Microschools are not just an option, but a lifeline to parents seeking an education that meets the needs of their children.
There is clearly demand for this program, and we can afford to do even more to make Utah a hub for educational innovation and let parents make the choices they feel are best for their kids. 
Teachers often say they want children to ask questions, but the unfortunate reality is that traditional schools discourage child curiosity. 
Introducing something like gun-sniffing dogs into schools may seem like a nice solution. But there are other things that a school can do that don’t involve violating a student’s right to privacy.
Microschools exist all over the state and nation. In fact, more parents than ever are choosing them as the main way to educate their children.
