Charters, Vouchers & Public Education

Chester E. Finn, Jr.
12.5.2001

edited by Paul Peterson and David Campbell, The Brookings Institution, 2001

Brookings has just published this valuable new collection of essays and commentaries arising out of a Harvard conference in March 2000. It's the only volume we know that examines both vouchers and charter schools and draws comparisons, contrasts and other relationships between these two reform strategies. The fifteen essays include several on each of those reforms, several on the effects of choice on public education, two on the linkages between school choice and civic education, and a pair of thoughtful "reflections" by Paul Hill and Diane Ravitch. Well worth having on your shelf - and even reading! The ISBN is 0815770278. You can most easily track it down by surfing to http://www.brookings.edu/press/books/charters_vouchers.htm
