Synopsis

The federal government is devoting millions of dollars to charter and voucher programs that currently require parents to abandon regular public schools. The School Choice Hoax: Fixing America's Schools exposes the misleading hyperbole that has been driving the school choice movement and shows how charter schools can become more effective and useful to public school districts.

About this title

Book Description:

The School Choice Hoax re-directs the nation's attention from the misleading hard sell for charter schools and education vouchers to the realities; rather than competing, choice schools and public schools should be cooperating to provide improved education across the spectrum.
