Examining the Milwaukee Parent Choice Program: Options or Opportunities?
Lowe, Robert; Whipp, Joan
Educational Researcher, v31 n1 p33-49 Jan-Feb 2002
Reviews "The Market Approach to Education: An Analysis of America's First Voucher Program" (John Witte), which examines the Milwaukee Parent Choice Program (MPCP) and describes school voucher politics that have focused significant national attention on the MPCP since its inception. Suggests that the book understates the inadequacies of the MPCP and problems with finance and governance that sustain racial inequality. (SM)
