No matter what is happening in the world, the presidency is always an office that garners a lot of attention, yet students may be unfamiliar with exactly what the President does on a day-to-day basis or the position’s larger role as the leader of the executive branch of the US government. They are also likely to be unfamiliar with the presidents of the past, and how modern ones may be similar or different.

This week's blog is written by Rena Youngblood, AAE's Director of Charter School Services.
It wouldn’t be hard to look at the 2019 calendar, see that Martin Luther King, Jr. Day falls during National School Choice Week, and incorporate beautifully accurate and still timely quotes to suggest that his message of civil rights included educational rights – specifically school choice rights. I get it. That’s exactly what I set out to do. Many of us truly believe the educational advantages of the wealthy, the privileged, top 10%, whatever you want to call them, should be available to everyone when it comes to parental choice. Many home buyers select homes based on their ‘good’ school districts. Some make the financial decision, even the financial sacrifice, to send children to private schools. What about that magnet school your son or daughter is qualified to attend? Aren’t you going to apply and take advantage of that public school option? And don’t forget the tutors we might seek out to give our children every advantage when it comes to their education. These are decisions many of us weigh.
