Parents have all the right to decide what type of education is appropriate for their children, after all don't we live in United States of America? Where is our freedom going?

As a parent I would like to have a say so where our tax dollars go to, we know children in private schools have better choices and options in life.

Giving more money to public schools do not give us better educators. They either have or they don't.

Common Core was sold to us parents as a lie! The education system does not teach the basic before teaching the children other ways to think. They have lowered the passing grade, taken cursive writing out of most schools and do not require it to be taught. People with Early Childhood development will state that cursive helps to develop a portion of brain that is otherwise not developed if not taught cursive. They also state those who cannot read cursive writing are on the boarder line of being illiterate.

DROP THE SUIT!!!! I don't understand what the problem is with the Florida School Board!!??? Are they afraid that our children will receive a BETTER EDUCATION than what they provide??? Are they afraid that our children will have the ability to feeler safer and learn better??? I'm so very grateful to Step Up for Students to allow me the choice to pick a school that I would not be able to afford them!!!!

Step up for students has allowed me, a single mother, to put my daughter in a prestigious school that allows her to thrive and be challenged academically. The school we are in district for is a grade D. This is unacceptable to say all children are the same and excell under the same conditions. They should have options as we have options when going to college why shouldn't grade school be just as important, it is the foundation of knowledge they carry with them for the rest of the lives and sets their pace for high school and college.

The SUFS program has allowed my children to acquire a better education in an environment that allows a better learning experience. The curriculum offered surpasses what is offered in the public schools and programs can be customized to improve their chances of attending college.They have to pass standardize tests, just as in public schools.......and most importantly, if the school or faculty is not providing a quality product, I have the ability to change institutions. I don't have this option in the public school system.

The step-up scholarship is the best thing that ever happened to Florida's education system. Our children deserve better, they are Americas future. What we sow is what we will reap.

Please don't take away Step up for kids, it has been a life saver for me . This program allows me to provide my kids the best education available, without having to be discriminated against because of my financial status. Please think about our kids future before making a decision to eliminate this program. Thanks

Any program that offers to enhance our children's education benefit all of us! This country was based on a certain intellect to be the very best in the world. What seems to be neglected it that these scholarships are a great investment. Any program empowering parents to enforce education is the ultimate investment into all of our future! We personally take our scholarship seriously and are very blessed to have this tool for our children. My entire family is involved daily to ensure these tax dollars are used to there maximum and have honor roll students to show. We wish the efforts and funds to fight opposing these benefits could be reconsidered into enhancing even more avenues of benefits. Lets add to this program rather than eliminate any of it!

Taking this program away from the single mom who can not afford a private school for their child is shameful. When the biological father purposely turns a blind eye and leaves all financial responsibility on the mother.... it's programs like this that brings justice to the situation! I'm so thankful for this program! !!
