These are really important issues in our country.

But here's the deal.

If you educate our kids, you can actually take care of every one of those other issues.

So it all begins with education.

It's by far the most important issue we face in our country.

It dictates everything in America.

um stopping that putting an end to that requires you know giving people kids a quality education yeah the you know the correlation between people who go to jail and education is night and day that's exactly right but we also see a huge personal economic impact for these children if you graduate high school studies show that your ability to make millions more over the course of your lifetime is greater

than a student who doesn't graduate from high school.

But also too, let's talk about our welfare system and our government oversight and control of our families is if you're not literate, you're reliant on someone else to help you the rest of your life.

And that's not the American dream.

The American dream is that you can live in the greatest country in the world and that through your education, you can advance in life.

You can be successful in your career.

You can get married.

You can have children.

That's right.

We operate in 13 states currently, and we do it two ways.

We have privately funded scholarships for generous people who believe in what we do.

They give contributions, and then we provide partial tuition scholarships to low-income parents to put their kids in the private K-12 school they think is right.

This year, we have 16,000 kids on scholarship.

here's the beauty of that is that these are partial scholarships so we're providing about a third of their tuition the school is coming along our side and also offering a scholarship and then our families who on average make about fifty thousand per year are also putting about two thousand dollars into their education
