The Contributor More Than Just A Street Newspaper
|
The Contributor is an award winning street newspaper, but that’s only part of the story. As a vendor and writer for this publication, when I look through its pages every two weeks I see so much more. There is a vast array of stories that can be used to teach people of ALL ages something new, much like the Weekly Reader did for me as a young child and as a teenager, really throughout my scholastic life. Every Friday like clockwork our classroom would receive the latest edition. I would immediately open it up.

School Choice Is Beneficial For Some But Detrimental To Others
|
It seems that school choice has become a hot topic nationwide, with 32 states and Washington, D.C., implementing it in various ways. Arizona has actively supported school choice from the beginning. Arizona resident Rebecca Eklund, an educator, parent and advocate for parents of children with special needs who has placed her children through public school, charter school, private school, home school and even the voucher program, said she, “returned to teaching in a traditional public school because [their] local districts still have the most comprehensive resources and the most experienced and educated teachers.” Other states have hit the brakes on funding such programs. Illinois stopped funding their voucher program in 2023, after only six years. It’s important to note that school choice can take many different forms: vouchers, education savings accounts and tax credit scholarships, to name a few.
