| Description: |
Tracing the evolution of the American debate over school choice, this study explores how the concept has at times been a vehicle for racial and economic segregation. The author suggests that the system works best with a combination of strong political commitment and private support. |
| Synopsis: |
Advocates of school vouchers and other choice proposals couch their arguments in the fashionable language of economic theory. Choice initiatives at all levels of government have succeeded, it is claimed, because they shift responsibility for education reform from government to market forces. This timely book disputes the appropriateness of the market metaphor as a guide to education policy.Advocates of school vouchers and other choice proposals couch their arguments in the fashionable language of economic theory.
