We Need an Education Bill of Rights

​Here’s a snapshot of how our system compares with the rest of the world.

The “Program for International Student Assessment” (PISA) scores proficiency for 74 developed countries worldwide. Our performance is at best very mediocre.

Failure of government-run schools doesn’t affect everyone equally.

Minorities are suffering the most, especially Blacks and Hispanics. Completion rates are disproportionally lower than Whites, because they are “not being taught to read well enough to flourish academically”. Only 18% of Blacks are proficient in reading by fourth grade. Just compare public schools to Charter Schools in Harlem and you’ll see why parents cry when their children are not accepted from a wait list.

To escape the failures of public education, parents are home schooling and demanding School Choice. It’s time we take back our schools and permanently secure our Education Rights.
