How do we maximize the potential of kids into our world? How should education be made a public good accessible to everybody? 

We unpack school choice in depth with Vicki Alger & Carol Kocivar in partnership with the Independent Institute and the Libertarian Party of San Francisco.

Alger has advised the U.S. Department of Education on public school choice and higher education reform. She is the author of more than forty education policy studies and four books, most recently, Failure: The Federal "Misedukation" of America’s Children.
