Listen: The future of school choice

5.14.2010

Haven't had a chance to watch the video from last week's school choice event due to a slow or spotty Internet connection? Now you can listen to the event via the audio files below.

Introduction by Mike Petrilli and presentation by Paul Hill (15:56)

Best quote from Mike: We at Fordham are conservatives who have been mugged by reality.

Best quote from Paul: School choice can set off a virtuous cycle of innovation.

Presentation by Paul Peterson (16:34)

Best quote from Paul: We keep bringing in more paid labor in education when we need to better utilize our unpaid labor.

???-

Discussion with Richard Kahlenberg and Bill Tucker (19:42)

Best quote from Richard: Politically, charters and vouchers run into problems because Americans believe in public schools.

Best quote from Bill: People think online learning is just for high-achieving, motivated students. That's not true.

Q&A with audience (34:45)
