EdYOUcate 02 Ben Scafidi-K-12 School Choice and Education Policy

How do we become people of good civic character? Where do we gain the virtue and character to care about and exercise what is "Good" in schools and communities? We see brokenness and injustice in the world, fractured families, political and social systems. And we say we yearn to have kids enjoy equitable educational opportunity. How do we get there? Dr. Albert Cheng, Cardus Senior Fellow and assistant professor in the Department of Education Reform at the U of Arkansas, explores these topics and the essential role that schools can play in character development.
