Utah has a chance to lead the way in 2023 with education choice. The work put in by parents, lawmakers, and groups like Education Opportunity for Every Child, Utah Fits All, Libertas, and AFP Utah is coming together.
Yes, unbundling education does take more effort from the parents. But the payoffs are worth it. The students are happy and love learning. And the result is a child passionate about their own self-improvement.
The idea of beginning something new is scary for teachers, but the rewards outweigh the fear. You can begin the classroom you envisioned during your college years. You can have the impact in your students’ lives that you dreamt about as a student teacher. Do it!
By increasing teacher pay and funding choice in education, the governor and legislature acknowledge the dedication and effort of Utah’s public school teachers and recognize that the public education model is not the best fit for every child.
