Summary

Many of us believe in social justice and equality of opportunity - but we also want the best for our kids. Does a commitment to social justice require one to send one's children to the local public school - however poor its academic results? Is it hypocritical to disapprove of private schools but justify sending your own child to one? Some parents feel guilty but don't need to. Others should feel guilty and don't. This book is the guide to school choice that morally perplexed parents have been waiting for.
