The Georgia Promise Scholarship has given me the chance, as a parent, to provide a better learning environment for my son. We chose Curtis Baptist School due to the faith-based curriculum and the smaller classroom size. Since attending CBS, my son has been more focused on his academics and makes an active effort to make sure his grades are up to par. This opportunity has helped to alleviate concerns I had about preparing my son for his future.
Parents should have the right to choose the right school for their child because learning should not be determined by a ZIP code. All children do not progress the same and they should have the ability to choose schools that don’t operate as traditional schools. Income restrictions can set children up for failure, by forcing them to fit into an atmosphere where they can’t grow. Parents would feel a sense of relief to freely try different teaching environments, until they find what’s best for their child.
