We customize nearly everything in our lives. So why does K-12 education still look like one-size-fits-all? With Alabama's CHOOSE Act going fully universal in January 2027, families are about to have more options than ever.
On this episode of Alabama Policy Insights, Stephanie Smith sits down with Kerry McDonald, Director of the Education Entrepreneurship Lab at the Foundation for Economic Education and author of Unschooled and Joyful Learning. They discuss the rapid growth of microschools and homeschooling, why so many new school founders are former public school teachers, and the toughest criticisms of school choice: government control, public school funding, and accountability.
Is Alabama ready for the education choices families are asking for?
