Every child is unique. We learned that the hard way—and the best way.
My wife Sandy and I have four kids. Same house, same values, same parents. Completely different kids.
One needed a path that honored her gifts and her challenges. One was built for hands-on service and science. One thrives in the outdoors and in leadership. One is a competitor and a student leader. Cookie-cutter schooling was never going to fit all four.
So we did what parents do when the system doesn’t: we built different school choices around each child. Not because we wanted “options” as a talking point—because we wanted each of them to become who they were meant to be.
That’s why school choice matters. It’s not about ideology. It’s about families having the tools to match education to the actual kid in front of them.
I’ll be talking about that—and how we help more families do the same—on Tuesday, September 9.
