~"If you know what it is to be hurtling towards a deserved Hell, then turned by God towards a glorious heaven, it is then that God will be enough and exalted over all. This is the foundation of the Christian life and Christian joy."
- Craig Ware, on Psalm 46

"[G]old-standard studies show low-income private-school choice participants have higher academic attainment, greater civic engagement, and even lower rates of criminal behavior than peers--even if test scores aren't significantly higher."

"Charter school students significantly outperformed traditional public school peers in the post-pandemic recovery years... with the strongest improvements seen among black, Hispanic, economically disadvantaged, and lower-performing students."

"Ultimately, the success of charter schools proves what we already know more generally: more competition produces better results, not only in the private sector, but in education, too." Get the scoop from @neerajadeshp: iwfeatures.com/commentary/why…

Come and Thy people bless
And give Thy word success
Spirit of holiness
On us descend
O we sing
All glory be to the Father
All glory be to the Son
All glory be to the Spirit
The blessèd Three in One

I don't have a peer-reviewed, random-assignment study, but seems likely entering such a school would help you feel an inheritance of knowledge was being passed down to you.
Of course, the architecture couldn't matter less if the teachers themselves don't feel that's their job.

The Alberta Advantage is a thing.
As a person born and raised in NFLD I can attest to seeing it when I first came here over 30 years ago.
It is founded on a culture of economic accountability - cattle and oil & gas where everyone knows if you are good or bad at what you do.
You don’t get that in a crop system that was controlled by the Wheat board monopsony or in company mining and forestry towns.

A columnist from a province seemingly allergic to jobs lectures a caricature of Alberta about dynamism.
Same old story. Different columnist. Different province.
J.J. McCullough@JJ_McCullough
@BrianDijkema I like Alberta, but is it really THAT dynamic? It seems to me that a lack of dynamism in the economy is a pretty broadly shared problem that’s not helped by just flattering provinces all the time.

@BrianDijkema Yes, independent school enrollment in ON is increasing. Many European countries, Australia, New Zealand have public funded independent schools/charter schools/similar.
But politicians/others prioritize spicy anti-US talking points over common sense policy (not unique to ed).

They do demand it. They’ve just realized that politicians in Ontario lack vision to pursue pluralism and instead they’ve taken matters into their own hands. It’s really a fascinating example of parental agency and civil society dynamism in the face of failed political leadership and cultural stasis. @cselley @paigemacp

If Ontario parents demanded it, they would get it. They don't, so they won't.

@cselley Can you explain how what you wrote then isn't in tension with what you wrote in your previous post in this thread?

If Ontario parents demanded it, they would get it.
They don't, so they won't.

Oh dear. Ontario needs school choice (yesterday) to give parents the option to affordably shift to another school if they don’t love the direction their local public school is heading. ctvnews.ca/kitchener/arti…

Most Albertans have been misled about school choice.
The truth? Independent education saves Albertan taxpayers an estimated $306 million every year while giving families more options for their children.
Students first. Systems second.

>In voucher-heavy states, Harris said, public schools could eventually become “the schools of last resort.”
Public schools already are "schools of last resort."
Without the wealth to attend private school, most families are assigned a school based on ZIP code even if it's a bad fit.
Grants extend that exit option to more families.
Ryan Bilodeau@ryankbilodeau
The @nytimes frames school choice as creating “two school systems.” But here’s what they leave out: Wealthy families have ALWAYS had school choice. Private schools. Tutors. Moving to expensive districts. Homeschooling. Specialized programs. What Education Freedom Accounts do is give more working- and middle-class families access to options that wealthier families already had for generations. That’s not inequality. That’s expanding opportunity. nytimes.com/2026/05/20/hea… CC: @DeAngelisCorey #SchoolChoice #EducationFreedom #EFAs
