Alaska should approve school choice legislation

A recent survey of Alaskans’ opinions on K-12 education produced some interesting results. For instance three out of every four people who participated say they pay “a lot of attention” to what’s happening in our school system. It’s great to see that much public interest, but one has to wonder what they pay attention to.

The pollster, Braun Research Incorporated, interviewed 1,006 registered Alaska voters across the state. One of the questions was “How much money do you think is currently spent on each student in Alaska’s public schools?” About one fourth estimated the amount to be less than $4,000; another fourth guessed it’s under $8,000. Both are far too low.
