Three Steps to "Heaven"? The Family and School Choice.
Gorard, Stephen A. C.
Educational Review, v48 n3 p237-52 Nov 1996
A survey of parents and children in South Wales (794 families) identified three components of school choice: (1) selection of type of school; (2) selection of a number of schools of the chosen type; and (3) the final decision. Family approaches to choice are diverse: eclectic, fatalist, child centered, parent centered, and consumerist. (SK)
