The debate over education savings accounts

On today's show...

While the education savings accounts bill failed to pass in committee, school choice is an ongoing political discussion.

Jennifer Beving with Homeschool South Dakota shares her own family's homeschooling journey and why she says it makes sense to use tax dollars to fund school choice (1:00 to 10:29).

Heath Larson is executive director of the Associated School Boards of South Dakota. He discusses the power of public school and why he thinks tax dollars should stay with the system (10:29 to 19:34).

Immigration is another pressing political issue today. We get a preview of a roundtable discussion happening in Mitchell.

Joel Allen, Ph.D., from Dakota Wesleyan University is with us (19:34 to 33:46).

Plus, Teacher Talk has tips on establishing healthy boundaries with colleagues (33:46 to 48:53).
