School choice wish list from redefinED

If there was one thing you could change to further the cause of parental school choice, what would it be? We posed that question to some of the folks at Step Up For Students and the American Center for School Choice, and over the next week or so we’ll be publishing their responses.

REDEFINED_WISHLIST_FINALFirst up Monday: a post from Jon East, the vice president for policy and public affairs at Step Up. His wish: A little more common ground.

Most of us at redefinED will be off until after New Year’s, so the blog will be a little less tended to than usual. But we hope the wish posts still give you something thoughtful to chew on between sips of egg nog and forks full of stuffing.

Thanks so much for reading us. Happy holidays!
