Beskrivning
Local school boards have traditionally assigned the school that a child is to attend. Only by selecting their neighborhoods have parents exercised their choice of school. In recent years, this tradition has slowly given way to magnet schools, inter-district choice programs, charter schools, voucher programs, and many other forms of choice, creating a new environment for school decision making. At the same time, market concepts are under consideration for the recruitment and compensation of teachers and principals. As a result, the world of education is becoming more competitive. In a group of essays originally published in Education Next: A Journal of Opinion and Research, this book examines the likely promise and pitfalls of these changes in American education. Overall, these essays paint the picture of an education landscape that will be greatly shaped by choice and competition in the 21st century.

In these 21 articles contributors wrestle with such issues as the profit motive and whether it will benefit kids, deregulation of entry into the teaching profession, making teacher pay more competitive, the belief that teacher unions stifle reform, and the ever-increasing pressures to create charter schools, use school voucher program, contract schools out, increase home schooling, and sell supplemental services. They also take a hard look at school choice after No Child Left Behind.
