This was a full circle moment for me. It was my honor to personally thank @DougDucey for Arizona #SchoolChoice. It saved my son. I am blessed to support @GregAbbott_TX as he provides the same opportunities for the parents of Texas. Stand strong #txlege #txed 🍎❣️🍎

We spend an average of $18K per year in Texas for each student in public schools. They want to up that to $27k. It cost an average of $13K to send a child to private school, for a superior education and safer environment. You love to waste money and hate good kids.

You are so right. Properly fund public school and allow parents options. There is a reason over 68% of Texas are in favor of #TEFA and allowing parents options (with their own tax dollars)

They’re not money, but the homeschool kids in their districts are getting money. Also, private school schools are online these days.

Yes, Richardson ISD is setting up a micro school model next year because they don’t want to lose TEFA kids. Would they have been motivated to do this with more $$$ but without the competition. You tell me. Either way, unless public school will pay for private tutoring for my kid instead of pushing him into a classroom model I’ll fight tooth and nail to keep that “scam” going. He is finally happy and learning.

For every supporter there is a child behind their support. My child drowned in a big box public school. He was miserable.
As he got in the car crying “Mom, there has to be a better way to learn”.
Even 10 kids in a class was too much. More money for schools won’t fix the model in time for him. He has 6 years left to graduate.

I really appreciate you sharing these stories, Megan! However, TEFA is an ESA, not a voucher program. It's a different policy mechanism.
Thank you #txlege This is the "why" behind #TEFA. Parents are grateful.

In my defense, no Member has ever so oddly confused taxpayer-funded lobbying and a tax exemption. It was bizarre. #txlege
