Insert Why Does It Matter? (New slide / pencil sharpener)

School choice promotes greater

accountability and smarter use of scarce

resources.

Accountability is for families, not

bureaucrats. Parents care less about test

scores than access to quality instruction in

safe, nurturing environments that reflect

their values.

Spending per student in NH public schools

grew 56% from 1992-2014. Student

enrollment grew 4%. During the same time,

teacher salaries rose 2%. Most of the money

went to non-teacher spending, like

assistant principals and teacher aides.

We need to look past ZIP Code-assigned

schools. School choice programs help

improve students’ academic performance.

They’re designed to help all children. And

they will promote accountability and

smarter use of precious resources.

Washington, D.C. has one of the highest per

pupil spending rates in the nation. So why

are D.C. schools in big trouble?

We need a legislative solution. The city

has the lowest math, reading and SAT

scores of any system in the U.S. Plus the

highest dropout rate. And it’s last in school safety.

D.C. needs a choice program that

empowers parents and provides

opportunity to every public school student in the nation’s capital.

The answer is expanded access to

personal savings options for family

education choices. One bill in Congress

would do just that. Urge your officials to

support Sen. Ted Cruz’s Student Empowerment Act.

Simplified Writing

The fact of the matter is that

utilizing too much unnecessary

verbiage which doesn’t add or

contribute anything to your

writing can have the unfortunate

negative effect of ultimately

resulting in rhetorical redundancy

and compositional confusion.

Plz. make each bullet a reveal. (I reveal them one at a time with a click)

- Do a draft. Take a break. Come back to it.- Talk it out with someone. That usually sparks something.- Brainstorm with peers.- Go work in the yard for an hour.- Procrastinate. Nothing sharpens the mind like a deadline.
