Summary:

The issues and arguments surrounding school choice are sometimes hijacked to make political points about government control, democratic ideals, the general public good, and privatization. Within this quantity in the MIT Press Essential Understanding series, David Garcia avoids partisan quarrels to offer an accessible, goal, and comprehensive instruction to college choice. He 1st outlines the various types of college choice, including house schooling, private schools, freedom-of-choice programs, magnet universities, about School Choice charter institutions, vouchers, and education cost savings accounts. Two designs emerge as particularly resonant in the American college choice debate: the lengthy history of school desegregation, and debates within the functions and responsibilities of government. Is education a public great, for the collective benefit of society, or a private good, to advantage the individual?

Garcia describes and evaluates the main arguments supporting school choice insurance policies: the reduction of federal government bureaucracies, the introduction of competition into education through marketplace forces, the promotion of parental choice, and the casting of school choice like a civil best. He examines the research on the consequences of school choice and summarizes general styles. Finally, he considers how school choice policies are likely to evolve.
