Imagine if every person had to use one bank or one grocery store chain. One would have very few choices about the types of services and products they use and receive. Fortunately, for all of us, this is not the case. We have choices about what type of checking and savings best suit us, and we can decide if we want to shop wholesale, organic, or at a super-chain. Even people living in rural Missouri can make these choices. It may not always be convenient to drive 45 miles to get to a health food store, but the option is still there.
We make choices everyday and people must live with those choices they make. Regrettably, the education our children receive from kindergarten through 12 is not always our choice. Some may afford the luxury of choice and go the private school route, while others cannot. Some children have it even harder when they suffer from some sort of disability. These children are in desperate need for education alternatives. The Department of Education attempts to give these children rights to an education. They should be guaranteed a free and appropriate education; however, this does not always happen. Parents should be able to make a choice for their children’s education, especially those with disabilities. These children face many obstacles within themselves everyday, they should at least be given the chance to get a decent education.
