Choice: The Route to Community Control?
Margonis, Frank; Parker, Laurence
Theory into Practice, v38 n4 p203-208 Aut 1999
While school choice offers inner-city parents a means of educating their children well, it represents further deterioration of society's commitment to educating all students. This paper describes: the push for private school choice; parent choice in context (historical context and failures of desegregation); and segregationist strategies and choice, noting politics of school choice and discussing choice, democracy, and schools.
