Now that the Supreme Court has shifted the school choice debate back to the political arena, policymakers should abandon their tired assumptions about choice and create a new model of schools based on the principle of "accountable choice," argues the Progressive Policy Institute's Andy Rotherham. Under such a model, a public school would be defined not by who runs it, but by universal access and accountability to the public for results-a strategy Rotherham says could unleash a renaissance in American education.
