Friedman: A Majority of Mothers Support Tuition Tax Credit Scholarships

A new Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice survey of American Moms has some interesting findings:

Nearly seven out of 10 school moms (69%) support tax-credit scholarships. Just 19% of school moms say they opposed tax-credit scholarships. Twelve percent of school moms did not have an opinion.

When asked for a preferred school type, 42% of school moms (a plurality) would choose a private school first. A regular public school option is the second-most frequently cited preference (36%). Mothers would pick a public charter school and those who would like to homeschool, both reached 9%.

When asked to “rate the federal government’s handling of matters in K-12 education,” four out of five school moms (79%) say “fair” or “poor.”
