Education terms
Schools and universities as the conservative press covers them: school choice, campus politics, the Education Department and student loans.
Charter school A publicly funded school operated independently under a charter that frees it from some rules in exchange for accountability for results. Education savings account A state-funded account that parents can use for private school tuition, tutoring, homeschooling costs and other approved education expenses. Homeschooling Education of children at home by parents or tutors rather than in a public or private school, legal in every U.S. state. School choice Policies that let families use public education funds or tax benefits to select schools beyond their assigned district school. School voucher A government-funded certificate that lets a family pay for tuition at a private school, including religious schools, instead of the local public school. Tax-credit scholarship A program giving donors a tax credit for contributions to nonprofit organizations that fund private school scholarships. Title IX The 1972 federal law banning sex discrimination in education programs that receive federal funds, now central to disputes over athletics and gender identity.
