Description: "The Great School Debate: Choice, Vouchers, and Charters examines reform in American eduction over the past 50 years and against this backdrop presents a compelling analysis of why contemporary voucher plans and charter schools have yet to fulfill the expectations of their advocates. It is the only book to date to attempt a comprehensive synthesis and analysis of the emerging research base on vouchers and charter schools.

Co-authored by one of America's most prolific and respected education researchers, it will be of interest to anyone (researchers, teachers, policymakers, parents) directly involved with the charter school movement."--BOOK JACKET.
