About this sermon
While many doctors agree COVID-19 poses very little risk to children, the pandemic lockdown policies however are another story. A recent report studying US public school students in 4th and 8th grades, shows a near free-fall in post-pandemic test scores in math and reading. But that was not the case in the nation's Catholic schools. Test scores by and large went up and so did enrollment. This, as many Catholic schools operate at a deficit. CEO of the American Federation for Children, Tommy Schultz, discusses why even as test scores and enrollment levels rise in Catholic schools, that does not equate to financial stability and in fact many Catholic schools operate in the red. Schultz is an advocate for the option of school choice, and in leading school choice states like Florida, enrollment is strong without the existential struggles of other Catholic schools. Schultz breaks down how school choice works and what the critics say. He explains how school choice would impact public schools and whether he sees this idea of school choice getting more traction.
