School choice falls into the former category, apparently.
But at least in Milwaukee, parents are permitted to look around for another school. No such luck for poor parents whose children are locked into the public schools' monopoly. This is why Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke deserves praise indeed for his March 7 creation of a task force to explore school-choice options for Baltimore City. Of course, public school teachers themselves often exercise school choice. What's good for the goose must surely be good for the gander.
