National School Choice Week
This is National School Choice Week. School Choice is something that can cross political backgrounds. As Fran Eaton has shown in her post :
While state Sen. James Meeks (D-Chicago) and former state Rep. Kevin Joyce (D-Chicago) normally held positions opposite conservative Republicans, there was one issue on which they agreed — school choice.
The two Democratic leaders had key roles in the 2010 legislative effort to provide a way for students to escape failing Chicago Public Schools. Although Meeks succeeded in getting his bill through the Senate, Joyce fell a few votes short in the House.
Here is a short video about the event:
I will be attending the School Choice Week event here in St Louis tonight at Loyola Academy near SLU

American 15-year-olds rank 35th out of 57 countries in math and literacy, behind almost all industrialized nations!
America shouldn’t be 35th in anything. It’s time to Restore American Exceptionalism! WE need an education system that challenges and motivates students, preparing them for life. We know it can be done!
Special guests to include: Dick Morris, Dana Loesch, Mike Podgursky (an educational economist), and more!
