Comments about ‘Bill would educate parents about Carson Smith scholarship’

Utah Education Facts is written by the pro-voucher group Parents for "Choice" in Education. Shouldn't the writer reveal that she is referencing a group with an agenda that is anti-public schools?

Obviously, you are a puppet of the teachers' union and the school bureaucracy. Anyone who opposes vouchers is actually anti-taxpayer and anti-parent, because they are against choice.

including a full reference to the sponsor or publisher of the information used in a news item is just good reporting.

Who is putting out data is just as important as what that data is!

Just because you support the idea of actually letting parents decide where their child's education funding goes does NOT make you anti-public school.

This is a tactic used too often by voucher opponents to villainize anything that pro-vouchers group do.

It's inaccurate and purposely misleading.

What the reporter is really showing is her genuine lack of bias, which is to be applauded. What the first poster on this thread is showing is pure propagandist thinking.

This is a wonderful program that helps children receive the right education for their unique needs.

I didn't know anything about the Carson Smith Scholarship until I had to seek an outside private school. Why would I have to do that? Because the public school told me to my face that they did not have the funds or the time to give my child the time he needed to get an education. Mind you my child has normal to above normal intelligence, but he suffers from PTSD and a writing disorder. It took me two years of testing, which I paid for, to get an IEP. Still the school argued that they would not provide the help my son needed because that was not the way they ran there program. I had to call an IEP Advocate from the district. The advocate told them they had to meet my son's needs. They wouldn't or couldn't so I had to go to an private school.

My son is a recipient of the Carson Smith Scholarship. We are so grateful and it has changed his life. He now, for the first time ever, enjoys learning and attending a school that can meet his needs.
