Enriching Education: Parent Power! Index

The Center for Education Reform (CER) recenty released the following statement:

Children deserve an education that best suits their individual needs. Parents can finally take part in that decision making process, but first they must learn from the resources and information made available to them on the Parent Power! Index.

As we’ve said since 1993, information is power, and parents, having power is closer than you think!  What you want, and what you need are now increasingly available to you, in your state, for the choosing. And it’s time to find out exactly what kind of power you have, and if you don’t, what you need to know to get it. 

In the last 6 months, more than a dozen states have improved power for parents, recognizing that you and you alone know your child best. You have, as the US Supreme Court declared just a year ago this week, the constitutionally protected right to direct the education of your children!

In spite of that, parents still do not have the ability to do so! This is unjust and inequitable. Let’s be sure you know your power, how to use your power and how to advocate for your power so that your children can have the kind of education they deserve.  

Use the 2021 Parent Power! Index , now online!  No matter where you are, take time now to get informed. It’s the first step to having real Parent Power!



Founded in 1993, the Center for Education Reform (CER) aims to expand educational opportunities that lead to improved economic outcomes for all Americans — particularly our youth — ensuring that the conditions are ripe for innovation, freedom, and flexibility throughout U.S. education.
