One study I saw said that parents who have access to vouchers are significantly happier with their child's education and parents are more involved as well.stevehttp://motorcitytimes.com/mct/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19127699.post-25290757176739793452009-05-20T13:02:18.534-07:002009-05-20T13:02:18.534-07:00Akindele,<br /><br />Wonderful piece! I agree completely. Education is the key to unlocking a brighter future for urban communities. I have worked with children in some of the hardest hit areas and the more I get to know them, work with them, and teach them, the more I realize how gifted, intelligent, and beautiful these people are. But it is a matter of giving them an educated foothold so they can lift themselves up. It is also equally important that we do not throw money at the situation but instead make sure there is accountability in order that every dollar going to schools to aid in the education process makes it to serve the children on their path.Chazhttp://conservativecanvas.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
