Summary

Public debate on school choice in the United States often focuses on the elemental question of whether school choice is "good" or "bad." But the reality is that school choice is here to stay-and is likely to grow. Getting Choice Right seeks to move the debate over school choice beyond the issue of whether parents should be allowed to choose a school for their children by examining the connections between school choice and the goals of equity and efficiency in education.
