The pandemic makes the most compelling case for school choice in decades

When students across the country were sent home due to the coronavirus pandemic last spring, millions of children didn’t know if they would ever set foot in a classroom again.

Thanks to a community that has the resources and motivation to do so, my peers and I have been able to experience our senior year of high school in a hybrid learning format that permits two days of classroom instruction each week. Unfortunately, thousands of students did not have the same luck and were left behind entirely, and this horrific neglect of America’s youth should not leave the nation’s collective conscience until we learn from it.
