Hints and Tips

Check out the Mobiles.Co.Uk deals: Mobiles.Co.Uk regularly has deals - often on the latest phones. If you're looking for a new phone, this should be the first place to check in case the phone you're seeking is part of a deal. Deals aren't exclusive to sales periods with Mobiles.Co.Uk often running sales throughout the year. If you hang around the site long enough, some exclusive deals can pop up on the sidebar too.

Look for free gifts: Any free gift is great but some will actually be quite practical. For instance, many deals include a free subscription to Disney+ or Now TV - services you might plan on buying anyhow. By being clever with your free gift options, you could save on something that you needed or wanted to buy anyway. Some free gifts have free tablets but these tend to be a little more low-end compared to one that you might actually want to buy.

Consider a SIM-only deal: If you don't need or want a new phone, a SIM-only deal is much better value. You just get the minutes and texts you need without a new phone. It proves much cheaper and is perfect if your phone is only a couple of years old at most and you're happy with what you're already using.

Refer a friend: If you refer a friend to Mobiles.Co.Uk and they buy something from the site, you could earn a considerable sum. The amount earned varies depending on the value of the item they buy. For a SIM-only deal, you'll get £10 back while for the latest phones such as the iPhone 15, you could get up to £75.

Buy a refurbished phone: Buying refurbished isn't much different from buying new as you still have a full one-year warranty and you can choose what condition you need the phone to be in. If you don't mind knowing you're not the first owner, you can save substantially on older models by committing to a refurbished phone contract.

Trade your phone in: Even if you're not buying a new phone from Mobiles.Co.Uk, you can trade in your existing phone and the funds will be transferred within three to five days of the company receiving your phone. The phone simply needs to be working with no cracks or chips on the screen. You can enter the IMEI number on the website to gain a quote instantly.

Vouchers Nearly Universal At Half Of Indiana Private Schools That Take Them, Data Shows

This story was originally published by Chalkbeat. Sign up for their newsletters at ckbe.At/newsletters

(CHALKBEAT INDIANA) Voucher use has soared in Indiana since lawmakers made nearly every student in the state eligible, with more than 90% of students at more than half of all participating schools using a voucher during the 2023-24 school year, a Chalkbeat analysis found.

That was true in just 11% of private schools before lawmakers made the Indiana Choice Scholarship available to nearly every student in Indiana by relaxing income eligibility and removing other requirements to participate in the program.

Since lawmakers approved the expansion last year, the number of schools where 100% of students receive a voucher rose from just one in 2022-23 to 28 in 2023-24. Last year, in 178 of the 349 private schools that accept vouchers, more than 90% of students enrolled used a voucher to pay for tuition.

The recent growth in the share of students using vouchers has remade the scope of Indiana's school choice program. Instead of being limited initiatives allowing students to leave struggling public schools, it's increasingly a means for all families to choose their preferred educational settings.

Among supporters of choice, there is disagreement about the shift. Some say it proves just how popular and justified vouchers are.

"It's phenomenal. In some ways, it's predictable," said Betsy Wiley of the Institute for Quality Education, a school choice advocacy group in Indiana, about the growth in voucher use. "In the years where eligibility has been expanded, you've seen greater growth."

But others worry about costs and say the program has moved too far from its original purpose.

"A few of us feel strongly that this movement is about leveling the playing field for low income kids and working class kids. There's an argument that these are taxpayer funds and we should limit that to a purpose that's necessary, for kids who could not make those choices without it," said Michael Petrilli, president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a conservative education policy think tank. "I do think I've lost that argument."

Meanwhile, critics of vouchers say the result isn't just that Indiana is subsidizing tuition for families who can afford it without state funds, but that the state is doing so at the expense of up to hundreds of millions in funding for public schools.

"It's the legislature's obligation to provide for the common school system," said Cathy Fuentes-Rohwer of the Indiana Coalition for Public Education. "You're taking the pie and slicing it up."

Another big change to Indiana school choice could be coming soon. Some Republican leaders are pushing to merge the state's three voucher tracks into one universal program that would give parents free reign over where to spend state funding.

Universal education choice through incremental expansion

Data from the state released earlier this year indicated that voucher use grew faster than enrollment, suggesting that vouchers were going to families already enrolled at private schools.

A Chalkbeat analysis comparing enrollment data to voucher use data at individual schools shows voucher use has grown at a faster rate than enrollment at the vast majority of schools. (One caveat: Many private schools have populations of just a few dozen students, meaning changes in enrollment and voucher use lead to large jumps in percentages.)

Statewide, around 70,000 students out of the 92,000 enrolled at private schools used a voucher to attend, receiving either the cost of the tuition and fees at their school, or 90% of the per-pupil funding the state gives to their local public schools — whichever is less.

More students receive a voucher worth 90% of their public school funding rather than the full cost of tuition and fees.

At only 13 schools statewide, less than half of all students received a voucher in 2023-24. Not every private school in Indiana participates in the voucher program.

Though private school enrollment has grown, it remains far below that of public schools in Indiana, which enroll over 1 million students.

The growth of the Choice Scholarship is not a surprise to critics or advocates of the program.

The state started with a small voucher pilot program and expanded it incrementally over the last 12 years. But universal access was always the program's goal, Wiley said.

Both schools and families have driven interest in the Choice Scholarships, which supplement the financial aid package that many private schools offer, Wiley said.

Measuring performance, seeking accountability for private schools

To participate in the Choice Scholarship program, schools must administer Indiana's statewide tests, including the ILEARN and the IREAD-3. That's more accountability than what other states require of voucher programs, noted Petrilli.

Accredited private schools are subject to some other state regulations, like the provisions of a literacy law enacted this year that requires them — along with public and charter schools — to offer summer tutoring and to hold back third graders who don't pass the state reading test. They also must offer the new diplomas currently in development in Indiana.

But they're excluded from other regulations, like a new law that requires schools to create attendance plans for habitually truant students.

Data from state tests could give Indiana information about which schools should be allowed to open and accept voucher funds, Petrilli said.

Indiana used to restrict private schools' participation in the voucher program if they consistently scored low on the state's A-F accountability system. But those grades were essentially frozen for years starting in 2018 before they were replaced by a different system.

The Department of Education will provide the legislature with future accountability recommendations later this year, a spokesperson said.

Average ILEARN scores for the last year show that students at private schools performed better on the tests than students in public schools. But several years of broader studies of vouchers' effects on student achievement — and other outcomes — show mixed results.

Christopher Lubienski, director of the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy at Indiana University, said his research has shown that when socioeconomic factors are controlled, public school students outperform their private school peers.

There's likely no political will to further regulate even private schools with high voucher use, experts said. School choice advocates believe that regulations weigh down publicly governed schools, and would do the same for private schools, Lubienski said.

Moreover, as the popularity of the voucher programs grows, there may be more resistance to change or regulation.

"As they develop more intense constituencies, they develop more of a political force that can help them be shielded from transparency," Lubienski said. "Historically, what kind of reforms last? The ones that do, they develop a constituency. … It's not likely to disappear when you have a constituency that depends on it."

Universal vouchers are also a centerpiece of the education plan from U.S. Sen. Mike Braun, the Republican candidate for governor.

The cost and impact of vouchers

But critics like Fuentes-Rohwer of the Indiana Coalition for Public Education say the $439 million price tag for the program in 2023-24 represented a costly diversion of public resources from public schools that the state is constitutionally obligated to fund.

According to the state's 2023-24 voucher report, if all 70,000 students receiving vouchers had attended public schools, the state would have added over $500 million in public education funding. But most voucher students receiving vouchers have never attended a public school.

"There are so many things you have to go through as a public school system to be transparent," Fuentes-Rohwer said. "We are very concerned that funding leaves public schools that have the obligation to educate everyone."

With a rise in the number of schools that have a large voucher population, some predict that private schools may seek the same per-pupil funding as public schools in the future.

Lubienski noted that charter schools were once thought to be able to deliver greater achievement with less funding and regulation, but now are seeking equitable funding.

Petrilli of the Fordham Institute agreed: With less funding, charter schools ultimately couldn't compete with traditional public schools on teacher salary.

But Wiley of the Institute for Quality Education said her group would not support a push to fund vouchers at 100% of the per-pupil cost that public schools receive. Receiving 90% of public schools' per-pupil funding is the cost of maintaining their individuality and autonomy, she said.

She said she hopes in the next legislative session, the state removes the final requirement for the Choice Scholarship program — that families make no more than 400% of the amount needed to qualify for the free and reduced-price lunch program — in order to create a fully universal program.

"The greatest accountability for these schools is that people have to choose to go to them," said Wiley.

Vouchers Ease Start-up Stress For Churches Seeing Demand For More Christian Schools

Florida pastor Melvin Adams knows a few hours of church programming every week is no match for the more than 30 hours children spend at secular schools, absorbing lessons that he says run counter to their family's Christian beliefs.

Like other theologically conservative pastors in Florida and beyond, he decided his Nazarene church in the Orlando suburbs could do something about it. Now the inaugural semester of Winter Garden Christian Academy is underway at Faith Family Community Church, educating K-4th grade students within the church's biblical worldview.

"We're making disciples and we're doing it not just on Sundays, but we're doing it all week long," said Adams. "I feel like we do have a leg up here in Florida."

The state has an expansive voucher program in which taxpayers help to pay tuition for all families who want to send their kids to private schools. While that's not the primary reason Faith Family Community and other churches are launching Christian schools on their campus, the vouchers have made it easier.

It's not about hurting public schools, said pastor Jimmy Scroggins, whose Family Church in South Florida is hoping to launch three classical Christian schools over the next year. Rather, he said it's about giving parents more schooling options that align with their Christian values.

Family Church is responding to an ongoing demand that rose out of heightened, pandemic-era scrutiny of what children were being taught in public schools about gender, sexuality and other contentious issues, he said. In Christian classrooms, pastors say religious beliefs can inform lessons on morals and character building, teachers are free to incorporate the Bible across subjects, and the immersive environment may give students a better chance of staying believers as adults.

A push for a Christian education reformation

"Our hope is to help accelerate this movement of Christian education. … That every Christian church with a building will consider starting or hosting a neighborhood school," said Scroggins. "We're not trying to burn anything down. We're trying to build something constructive."

Scroggins makes his case in "The Education Reformation: Why Your Church Should Start a Christian School," a new book he co-wrote with Trevin Wax of the Southern Baptist Convention's North American Mission Board. Scroggins' large, multisite church also is Southern Baptist.

They have company in their cause from school voucher advocates.

On the national level, for example, Family Research Council senior fellow Joseph Backholm made a similar argument in his 2020 report, "Why Every Church Should Start a Christian School," while pushing for more public funding for private education. At the state level, the Ohio Christian Education Network launched a school planting initiative for churches in 2021.

"We believe the church has a responsibility to rise up and meet what we see as an educational crisis in the United States," said Troy McIntosh, the network's executive director. So far, they've helped start two schools and hope to add more, likely beginning as small learning environments known as microschools, he said.

Ohio passed so-called universal school choice — taxpayer money available for private school tuition without income limits — in 2023. They were part of a wave of pro-school voucher laws passed in Arizona, Florida, West Virginia and other states following key Supreme Court rulings in recent years. This year, universal school choice became an official national Republican Party policy, including equal treatment for homeschooling.

School voucher trend divides stakeholders

In addition to discrimination concerns and church-state issues, opponents worry school vouchers take money from public schools, which serve most U.S. Students, and help higher-income families already in private schools.

"The problem isn't churches starting schools. The problem is taxpayer funding for these schools, or any private schools," said Rachel Laser, president of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, in a statement. School vouchers, she said, "force taxpayers to fund religious education — a clear violation of religious freedom."

Most U.S. Private schools are religious, though not all are sponsored by a specific house of worship.

Conservative Christian schools accounted for nearly 12% (3,549) of the country's private options during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the latest data from the National Center for Education Statistics' Private School Universe Survey. While they're not the largest group, enrollment is growing at conservative Christian schools. Total enrollment jumped about 15% (785,440) in 2021, compared to 2019.

Melissa Erickson, director and co-founder of Alliance for Public Schools in Florida, said she has fought vouchers for years along with other policies that hurt a public school system continually villainized as the problem, even as it serves most children in the state.

"They want the benefits of the public funding without the requirements that public schools have to go through. It's very concerning that there's no accountability," said Erickson, who is seeing "homeschool collectives or small individual churches that never thought of going into the education business, now going into it because there's this unregulated stream of money."

Churches sharing their space with school start-ups

In Ohio, McIntosh's group wants all Ohio families to have access to a Christian education, and it backed the state's expansive school voucher program.

"We didn't need five Christian schools in the state — we needed 50," said McIntosh, noting that getting a building can be a challenge for school start-ups. "We tried to take that hurdle away by sourcing church facilities that are largely unused during the week."

Northland Church, a nondenominational congregation in the Orlando suburbs, had that unused space and decided to host a school, according to senior pastor Josh Laxton, who said in an email that he sees Christian education as a counterweight to declining church attendance and biblical literacy trends. The church invited The Ecclesial School Initiative to start a school on its grounds last year.

The Northland school is the second campus the initiative launched since its start in 2020, said Kevin Clark, founder and president. The group is creating a network of classical schools hosted by churches, expanding access to Christian education in Florida — and transforming lives.

"I thought this can't just be a one-off solution. It needs a systematic approach to engage more families … and serve families that hadn't really had this kind of access," said Clark, noting Christian education is often a value-add option for more well-to-do families.

The Ecclesial School Initiative gets a shoutout in Scroggins' book, which is being offered for free through the SBC's domestic evangelism arm and the Association of Christian Schools International. The accreditation group represents about 2,200 U.S. Schools; this summer the association said it had 17 churches in its emerging schools program.

"We are calling upon pastors to envision a generation of ambassadors for Jesus Christ, molded through Christian education," association president Larry Taylor said in a news release announcing the Southern Baptist collaboration. He wants students to be "capable not only of engaging with the culture but also of navigating and thriving amidst secular ideologies."

Public school vs. Sunday school

The public school-Sunday school clash has flared up before with disagreements about human origins to prayer in class, said Jeff Walton, executive director of the American Association of Christian Schools. Today, the accreditation group is seeing school growth, especially from Southern Baptist churches, and enrollment increasing among its more than 700 member schools, he said.

"It's not an opposition to public education in principle. It's an opposition to where public schools have gone ideologically in a lot of communities, and that frustrates Christian parents," said Walton, noting the conflicting messages are hard on children.

The first semester is underway at one Southern Baptist church in West Virginia. South Berkley Baptist's Christian academy, which accepts the state's Hope Scholarship voucher, is starting off with less than 10 students and individualized learning, said pastor Patrick McCoy, who is pursuing school accreditation.

The school came about after McCoy started substitute teaching at area public schools a couple years ago. He said there he found good people, and little being taught on hot-button ideologies, but a clear need for strong Christian education.

"They're failing in preparing them for adulthood," said McCoy, who is worried for the future of public-school funding since he expects more parents will use vouchers for private education.

"We've got to attack this problem head-on," he said. "Since they're not doing it, somebody needs to do it."
