It’s always been a hope of many in the education reform community that parents would rise up and demand choice, which would be a big catalyst for transformation in the inner cities and elsewhere. But if those reformers are being honest, they’d have to agree that it hasn’t really played out that way despite the hype of Waiting for Superman and other flashpoints.
As I was reminded though at a recent event where I spoke, the parental support for digital learning is fundamentally different.
First and foremost, digital learning is for everyone, everywhere. It’s not something designed for “those children” or one specific slice of the population. It’s not something that a group of parents support in theory but for whom in practicality it doesn’t matter. It’s not just for charters or districts. And even more fundamentally, it’s not just for private schools or for public schools. It cuts across all of these categories.
