Why School Choice Can Help Children in America's Inner Cities.
Shokraii, Nina H.
Teacher Education and Practice, v13 n2 p15-27 Fall-Win 1997
As public schools are failing inner-city children, school choice offers a promising solution. This paper presents research that shows how school choice (public, private, or parochial) has a positive effect on minority, inner city children, noting that school choice is the only reform mechanism that would offer schools immediate and measurable results.
