Collins, Roger L.
Education and Urban Society, v19 n3 p290-302 May 1987
Presents results of a survey of Cincinnati, OH, parents' views on alternative school programs (e.g., vocational curricula). Reports that parental approval plays a critical role in choosing particular schools and in a school's ability to retain students. Challenges the degree to which alternative schools act to resegregate school districts by class. (KH)
