An interesting critique of the concept of school choice. . . . The choice argument is that introducing more market competition into education is apt to increase the performance of students. This book uses statistical analysis to suggest that the data are not fully consistent with this contention. While the arguments are rather narrow, they do add to the dialogue on what factors affect student performance.
