""Choosing Schools" is a valuable contribution to the highly
contentious, emotionally charged debate about school choice.
Schneider, Teske, and Marschall have written a careful, reasonable,
balanced and fair assessment of the evidence. Their quietly
persuasive book deserves a wide readership."--Diane Ravitch, former
Assistant Secretary of Education in the U.S. Department of
Education and author of "The Troubled Crusade: American Education,
1945-1980"
"The authors' careful and judicious reading of their evidence
will be greatly appreciated by those who are frustrated by the
selective and inflated claims that more typically have dominated
the school choice debate. While the published articles of these
authors are familiar to those who have followed the school choice
debate carefully, the integration of the various pieces into this
book gives that content a sense of freshness, greater complexity,
and added empirical horsepower."--Jeffrey Henig, author of
"Rethinking School Choice" and coauthor of "The Color of School
Reform"
"There is not much empirical evidence on how school choice
programs work in practice--which is perhaps the central concern in
the debate over choice, political and intellectual. This book
provides interesting new evidence on a wide range of choice-related
topics, and ties it together with theories from economics, social
psychology, sociology, and public opinion. In so doing, it offers a
firm basis for gaining perspective on the performance of school
choice and judging its prospects. There is nothing like it in the
literature. It is a tour de force."--Terry M. Moe, Hoover
Institution and Stanford University
