School system is like big box

What if you lived in a small town with only one big box store like Wal-Mart? You go to that store often but at times they are out of things you want. Unfortunately, you live too far away from another town and don't have the gas money. You are stuck. We deserve the right — rich or poor — to shop at another box store to get what we need.

Our school systems have failed us and our children. Please allow parents to have the choices they deserve for their kids. Let the parents, not the government or the UEA, decide what our kids need. Vote to support vouchers.
