School choice / David R. Garcia. by Garcia, David R., author. Cambridge, Massachusetts : The MIT Press, [2018] Subjects School choice -- United States.   Education and state -- United States. ISBN:  9780262535908 paperback ; alkaline paper : Series:  MIT Press essential knowledge series. Description:  206 pages ; 18 cm. Contents:  A brief history of school choice -- The pillars of school choice arguments -- The research evidence -- Future directions. Requests:  0 Summary:  The issues and arguments surrounding school choice are sometimes hijacked to make political points about government control, democratic ideals, the public good, and privatization. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, David Garcia avoids partisan arguments to offer an accessible, objective, and comprehensive guide to school choice. He first outlines the different types of school choice, including home schooling, private schools, freedom-of-choice plans, magnet schools, charter schools, vouchers, and education savings accounts. Two themes emerge as particularly resonant in the American school choice debate: the long history of school desegregation, and debates over the roles and responsibilities of government. Is education a public good, for the collective benefit of society, or a private good, to benefit the individual?   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 379.11109 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList
