Freedom and School Choice in American Education: Education Policy

Editat de G. Forster, C. Thompson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 mai 2011
Leading intellectual figures in the school reform movement, all of them favoring approaches centered around the value of competition and choice, outline different visions for the goal of choice-oriented educational reform and the best means for achieving it. This volume takes the reader inside the movement to empower parents with choice, airing the more interesting debates that the reformers have with one another over the direction and strategy of their movement.

Recenzii

"The public schools are the largest monopoly in the nation, and they have not served our children well. Is there another sphere in which choice and competition has been a matter of such misguided contention? This superb collection of essays asks that timely and vital question with force and clarity. It's a must-read for serious educators." - Abigail Thernstrom, Vice-chair, U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Adjunct Scholar, American Enterprise Institute
