Thanks to Matthew Tabor of Education for the Aughts for writing about my book, Our School. He quotes the intro on school choice.
Who gets to choose
March 16, 2009 By
Once a San Jose Mercury News op-ed columnist, I left mainstream media in 2001 to write a book on a start-up charter school, "Our School: The Inspiring Story of Two Teachers, One Big Idea and the Charter School That Beat the Odds." I blog on education and work as a freelance writer and speaker.
As one of my good friends likes to say, we have always had school choice, it’s only a matter of who gets to choose – (1) the parents, based on what their kids need, or (2) the school district, assigning boundaries to suit THEIR needs.
Viva la revolucion!! Power to the people!! Giant puppets for school choice!! Speaking truth to power!!
That’s a great intro.
