Abstract:
Educational choice is an effective way to raise education standards, and it provides parents with an important freedom. The choice models now existing in the public sector show that it helps achieve racial integration, entices dropouts back to school, improves student performance, provides stimulating educational options, and responds to unique situations of limited public facilities. These are lessons that the states experimenting with choice are teaching the rest of the nation.
