School Choice Indiana

The changes that I’ve already seen in my kids make me hopeful and excited about the future. I know that we made the right decision to switch schools and I’m sure that my kids will all graduate and have high confidence and self esteem.

It’s great to know that students who were struggling at other schools are now thriving here. We are giving them the one-on-one tutoring that they need. But, it takes teamwork, and that’s why I’m excited to see so many parents engaged in their student’s learning.

I cannot tell you how long it has been since my children were excited to go to school, and now they are happy to do so. I love seeing the joy in their faces as they start each new day and I wish that every parent could have the same experience.

The voucher program has given my three sons an opportunity to experience a completely different learning environment. They are now part of a family where students care about each another and that is dramatically different than our past experience.

Education is so important to our kids and our future as a city and a country. Parents know that and they want the best opportunity for their kids. Sometimes that means a great public school. Sometimes that means a great private school. Whatever the case, I’m just glad that we have a voucher program that puts parents in charge of determining the best option for their kids.

One student told me that he came here because there wasn’t enough discipline at his school and he felt that his teachers had to spend more time managing troubled kids than helping those that wanted to learn. He tells me that the transition here is going well but that he’s still working on one thing. He said, “I’m just not used to everyone being so nice.”

If I had not found out about the voucher program, I do not know what I would have done. With my multiple sclerosis and my mother living with us, private schooling was not an option financially for my family until now. The voucher program, which was very simple to use, has made all the difference in the world for us.
