Empirical rejection of school choice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Meier and Smith do a fine job in this book of rejecting the theory of school choice, by testing it against the actual outcome of choice and voucher proposals. They offer a variety of studies, local, national and international, that look at the effect of vouchers, and in doing so offer a solid case against them. It is about time someone put some research into this debate, which generally has relied upon theory rather than fact.
