I firmly believe that a quality education should be accessible to every child, irrespective of their geographical location or socioeconomic status. However, I contend that this does not necessitate a greater hand from the federal government, but rather a stronger focus on parental choice, local control, and competition among schools. Empowering parents and local communities to take the reins of education bolsters a sense of personal responsibility and can lead to more effective, tailored educational approaches.
