“I definitely feel like they’re getting a better education. I feel like we learned the way our kids learned before anybody else. As a parent you can sort of take advantage of that.”
“Everyone deserves the best that they can get… no matter what level of income you’re at, no matter where you are, every child matters and I want them to all have that choice.”
“Some schools have been failing their students for over 40 years, so this is not a pandemic issue, this is a quality issue and that is why school choice is so important.”
“I know that my children are learning the academic skills that they need to be successful in their everyday and their future. I know that they are safe, and their kind spirits nurtured.”
“Having those options for parents to say, hey this doesn’t work for my child, so I have a choice to move them somewhere else, I think is something that all parents deserve.”
“It was very eye-opening to me to realize the power that parents have. We are not just the people that the educational systems serve but we are stakeholders. We have a voice and we have a choice.”
“The teachers met us graciously but when we talked about our desire to be involved in our children’s education they kind of looked at us like we were from a different planet.”
“When I think back and think about my son being raised in the same school district that I graduated from, I want my son to have better opportunities.”
“You are your child’s best teacher and if they see that your child is not learning for whatever reason in the school that they’re in you should be able to make a different decision.”
“It’s very important for each student to get the chance to have the perfect education for them. I think it’s important to be very careful about the choices that you make for your future generations.”
“You know your kid better than anybody else, so you know if your kid is going to be successful in a certain environment. I would like for everybody to be able to choose.”
“There’s something wrong with our regular school system when charter schools and the back seat of a pickup truck give a better education than going to school for eight hours a day.”
“It shouldn’t be just because I was born into the right family that I get to get a good education. Every student should be able to get the education that they want to.”
“Parents live with their children for their entire lives and for us to as educators to believe that we know more about the needs of any children than their parents is really foolish.”
“A concerned parent should not have to dedicate years of their lives to fighting for quality education for their children with the very system that is supposed to be providing it.”

“Charter schools have changed and are changing the trajectory of our children. They have to. They are all we have.”
“Our local public school system failed our daughter. Fortunately, the private school system includes her and encourages her success.”
“No one cares more about the children than their parents. School choice is paramount in Missouri for all families, because parents need other options than being forced into a system that doesn’t work simply because of where they live.”
“Teaching at a charter school allows you to rediscover the joy of teaching. This is the first time in my career where I wake up feeling really excited to go to school.”
“Charter schools changed my life, my children’s life and have just made everything so much easier.”
“Education is the new frontier. It is what can change every community. The more you learn the more you can do and achieve.”
“It has been proven the Saint Louis Metropolitan area has had failing schools and districts often giving parents no choice on what type of educational instruction their children are provided.”
“When he (my son) was taken out of a pressure cooker environment and given the freedom to be in a place that saw him for who he was, he grew and our son started to come back to us.”
“My wife and I have been greatly impressed with the level of education our son has received at GSA charter school. We are extremely blessed he is there. He is challenged every day.”
“When students are trapped in a school that is not meeting their educational needs, their future is at stake.”
“Although decades apart in our educational needs, the traditional school system was still unequipped to meet the needs of my children.”
“Education is the ticket out. The greater the education the greater the chance of getting a good job that you can provide for your family with.”
“It is hard for many legislators and people in general to understand how much money public schools are saving just by the existence of private schools.”
“Not every school fits every kid. Having charter schools gives parents choices to find the school that will help their child be the most successful.”
“We hired tutors, we bought all of the educational toys, I have the freedom to stay home and let my son succeed, but my community does not have that option.”
“I am a believer in virtual education. I’ve experienced a fragment of what can be achieved with this already-dated and inexpensive technology.”
