Sociology of education series
Content:
Controversial claims are being debated about school choice and the application of market dynamics to education. But the polemics have out-paced hard evidence regarding who participates in school choice experiments and what effects are felt by parents, children, and schools. Who Chooses? Who Loses?: Culture Institutions, and the Unequal Effects of School Choice reports and analyzes the most recent data available on choice programs nationwide - ranging from such diverse cities as Milwaukee, St. Louis, Detroit, and San Antonio. The important issues involved in school choice - such as the short- and long-term effects on students, minority student views, vouchers, magnets, and private school programs overseas - are clearly capsulized and explored
Content:
