Why School Choice Is Growing Everywhere

National School Choice Week, an annual event that coordinates thousands of events nationwide designed to bring attention to alternatives to traditional public K-12 education, runs through Saturday, January 26 (go here for more information). For today's Reason Podcast, Nick Gillespie spoke with the group's president, Andrew Campanella, about the remarkable growth of school choice over the past few decades, especially since the introduction of charter schools in the mid-1990s. About 10 percent of the nation's 50 million K-12 students attend a school they choose rather than the traditional method of residential assignment, says Campanella, who notes that the trend is getting stronger every year. In a wide-ranging conversation about the different forms of school choice, he argues that school choice is part of a wider societal movement toward increasing personalization in many goods and services and a reflection of the recognition that education is one of the central ways for people to realize their potential.

147 - Revolutionary War

Less than a week after the 4th of July, we Suck into the birth of the United States of America. We glance at some of the war's important battles and important figures, but, more importantly, we dig deep into the events leading up to the Revolutionary War. What went down between King George and the Founding Fathers that left colonists feeling like going to war with arguably the most powerful empire in the world was a good idea? How important was George Washington to America's eventual victory? If not for the French and Indian War two decades prior to the Revolutionary War, would the United States be part of the British Commonwealth today? We take a break from true crime and dig deep into US history, today, on Timesuck!Feel the Heat preorder Link: https://bit.ly/2WVJuaxDonating $2600 this month: 100+ Abandoned Dogs of Everglades Florida Rescuehttp://100plusabandoneddogsofevergladesflorida.org/Come to my standup special taping at Crofoot in Detroit on Friday, October 18th.
