The interesting thing is how many teachers indicate support for the concept of choice when they have an opportunity to express their views anonymously. In the mid-90s a new independent teacher group was formed, the Association of American Educators and, unlike the majors, it began conducting an annual survey of all of its members. In the second annual one, published in the February 1996 issue of the AAE newsletter, they received more than 2,000 responses from all 50 states. Recently, this support has advanced to the next step, and a group of teachers have come together to support vouchers and other education reforms. We are a national organization whose purpose is to support education reform, including the use of opportunity scholarships or school vouchers.
Studies show that school choice leads to higher satisfaction among teachers, parents and students.
