with Dr. Vance Ginn (www.vanceginn.com/)

promoting Education Savings Accounts and School Choice. You

articles.
Today, we are offering a different perspective from Dr. Vance Ginn, the founder

Vance Ginn’s op-ed on this issue.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Have we been throwing more and more money at public education for years only to
achieve bad results? Dr. Ginn shares some shocking numbers.
Are Texas parents being gaslighted by teachers’ unions and lobbyists that
Education Savings Accounts would destroy public education?
The current legislation for Education Accounts in Texas would help 100,000 or
fewer students. Why not allow all students the choice? Dr. Ginn believes this is
a good start to test the program in Texas, because the state has too many
children to allow them all ESA’s at once.
In Summary: Why does Dr. Vance Ginn believe HB2 and SB3 are a misstep for Texas
students?

Discussed by Vance Ginn

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Do less than half of education funding dollars reach teachers and students?
Does everyone – parents, students, and teachers – desperately need choices?
Dr.
Ginn explains why competition is a good thing.
Some form of school choice has been implemented in 35 states. Are student test
scores and graduation rates improved in those states? Have any of those school
districts closed their doors due to lack of money?
Does a better education help students throughout their life? Dr. Vance Ginn has
seen many employers struggle to find good workers because applicants cannot read
or do simple math and explains how universal school choice will help prepare
students.
