Contextualising Choice: Social Power and Parental Involvement.
Reay, Diane
British Educational Research Journal, v22 n5 p581-96 Dec 1996
Recognizes that consumerist approaches to education are seductive and agrees that choice and standards are positive ingredients of educational provision. However, argues that official writing on school choice is decontextualized, ignoring the impact of social class, gender, and race. Discusses the personal and social impacts of each of these factors.
