Dear Santa, I have been a very good boy this year. We advocated for the passage of the Utah Fits All Scholarship, and I met many new micro-school founders to help share their stories. With that in mind, I hope you'll consider my education Christmas list.
If the public school system is working for you and your child, that is wonderful, and 84 percent of Utah parents feel the same way. But don’t let that love of your local public school take an opportunity away from the 16 percent that aren’t satisfied with the public schools.
Have you wanted to start homeschooling your children but feel overwhelmed by the idea? If so, you are not alone. But most parents quickly realize it is far easier than what they originally thought.
Those who like their public schools get to keep their public schools. But for those who don’t fit into that model, the Utah Fits All Scholarship and similar programs across the country provide a much needed alternative for their education.
