The School Choice Hoax
Book (italiano):
According to common wisdom, if your children's school is not meeting federal specifications, you can move them to another, better-functioning school, including a charter school. This would seem to make sense, particularly if common wisdom about competition improving all things applies. However, according to Corwin (sociology emeritus, Ohio State U.) and Schneider National Policy Board for Educational Administration) common wisdom is uncommonly unwise in this case. They believe the "school of choice" project has done nothing to improve the quality of education, but instead has overburdened schools unfairly and has eliminated many possible opportunities for cooperation. In addition, the promise touted by the concept and practice of charter schools has failed to come into reality, vastly reducing any chance of a real choice. They advocate making charter schools more effective and useful to school districts, and to make changes that will raise the school choice out of hyperbole and into the realm of actually contributing to the common good.
