Regulation Hinders Education Entrepreneurs

null Nov. 23, 2023 12:21 pm ET Photo: Tom Williams/Zuma PressAs Roland Fryer notes in “America Needs Real School Choice" (op-ed, Nov. 14), to fully realize a free-market vision for education, entrepreneurs should be encouraged to experiment and create options that meet the demand of their consumers. These solutions are often small learning environments such as microschools or learning pods.These entrepreneurs face regulatory obstacles that hinder their ability to meet this demand. I have the privilege of assisting entrepreneurs navigate these regulatory barriers. It constantly amazes me that a large number of children can gather in a church or commercial space, but the minute a microschool wants to use the same space it suddenly becomes an “educational occupancy” and needs to meet different code requirements.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
