Description
Most of the country's families are content with their schools and are not concerned about having the choice to attend another school--but that does not mean they are satisfied with all that transpires in their schools. They may welcome the opportunity to access new options for foreign language instruction, richer math instruction, or a more serious commitment to music and the arts. The substantial amount of money that families spend on tutoring and enrichment programs shows us just how real this appetite is. By supporting reforms to increase choice only among schools, choice advocates are appealing only to a minority of parents who want to relocate their child to another institution and are thus missing the opportunity to boost choice among nearly all parents who would want some educational choice. Similarly, even those for whom school choice is most relevant often encounter difficulties in taking full advantage of their options. They lack the support and information to help them make savvy choices. And those educators eager to differentiate their services and offer meaningful choices enjoy remarkably little guidance as to how they might identify distinctive needs or segment their services accordingly.
