"The voucher debate has been both intense and ideologically
polarizing, in good part because so little is known about how
voucher programs operate in practice. In The Education Gap, William
Howell and Paul Peterson report new findings drawn from the most
comprehensive study on vouchers conducted to date. Added to the
paperback edition of this groundbreaking volume are the authors'
insights into the latest school choice developments in American
education, including new voucher initiatives, charter school
expansion, and public-school choice under No Child Left Behind. The
authors review the significance of state and federal court
decisions as well as recent scholarly debates over choice impacts
on student performance. In addition, the authors present new
findings on which parents choose private schools and the
consequences the decision has for their children's education.
Updated and expanded, The Education Gap remains an indispensable
source of original research on school vouchers. ""This is the most
important book ever written on the subject of vouchers.""-John E.
Brandl, dean, Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs,
University of Minnesota ""The Education Gap will provide an
important intellectual battleground for the debate over vouchers
for years to come.""-Alan B. Krueger, Princeton University ""Must
reading for anyone interested in the battle over vouchers in
America.""-John Witte, University of Wisconsin "
