Twenty years after his passing, Milton Friedman remains one of the most influential voices in education. His vision was simple: when parents are empowered to choose, schools respond with greater innovation, quality, and opportunity. Today, educational freedom continues to expand across the country, bringing that vision closer to reality and giving more families access to the options they deserve.

Milton Friedman Was Right Critics of the famed free-market economist should try learning from him.

As the 2026-27 school year begins for many students and teachers across the country, EdChoice wanted to wish them all a very happy start to the new year! We are excited for all of the things you'll learn and all of the fun you'll have this year!

As the new school year kicks off, there are some new policies and procedures in place. Cell phone bans in schools were a hot topic over the past couple of years, with mixed support. Now, public opinion has shifted, and more Americans support cell phone bans than oppose it.

Cell Phones Bans Are Here, and People Are Growing to Like Them Some trailblazing states were just starting to crack down on phones in class, and we wanted to test the waters with the general public.

Happy Birthday to Milton Friedman, whose bold ideas helped redefine what's possible in education. His vision continues to inspire a future where every family has the freedom to choose the learning environment that fits their child best. Here's to carrying that vision forward! 🎂
