Many people that I admire both personally and professionally, not the least of whom is Dr. Allen, contributed to it.
From time to time, I have looked at the mission, vision, and core values statements of our largest public-school districts.

To be sure, no teacher consults their district’s mission statement when deciding what to teach, but they’re still instructive.
Measures of trust in public education and teachers, while still comparatively strong, are softening. About a dozen states now offer educational savings accounts; six of them have “universal” ESAs—Arizona, West Virginia, Iowa, Arkansas, Utah, and Florida. This enables parents to opt out of the public education system entirely and take with them the lion’s share of state dollars to purchase education services independently, from simply paying private school tuition to more bespoke options.
