| Description: |
This discussion of public school choice considers school choice at all levels. It argues that choice programmes: promote inequity rather than improved quality; are expensive; require a large bureaucracy to administer; and do not necessarily lead to better education. |
| Synopsis: |
"Compelling arguments, supported by both anecdotal and empirical evidence to convince readers that school choice does nothing to improve the quality of education...Solidly researched and written, Smith's and Meier's effort should sway those still undecided on the issue". -- Publishers Weekly |
