WHAT DO YOU THINK?/SHOULD PARENTS BE ALLOWED TO CHOOSE WHICH SCHOOL THEIR CHILDREN ATTEND?

"Yes, because if the school is bad or if it's got a bad reputation, or if I had friends at a different school I would want to go to (a different) one." Thomas Smith, 13 Monroe Central School Farmland, Ind. "I think in some schools, some teachers are prejudiced, and (if) that teacher has it out for a student, then (the student) should be able to change schools if he wants to." James Fender, 14 Edgewood Junior High School Ellettsville, Ind. "I'd like to have choice . . . because it doesn't seem right to not have a choice. It's a free country, it seems like you should have a free choice." Ryan Daming, 12 Franklin Township Middle School Indianapolis "I already go to a private school, and I really like it there." Heather Bartlett, 10 Harmony School Bloomington, Ind. Poll conducted by Kia Woodson, 13; Brandon Ley, 13; and Randy McDade, 17; at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis.
