Tough Choice.

Shapiro, Walter

Time, v138 n11 p54-60 Sep 16 1991

To help public schools experience free-market competition, Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander and President Bush propose parental choice among private, parochial, and public schools, supported by public financing for program design and tuition grants. Sidebars highlight church/state separation concerns and school choice experiments in Wisconsin, Massachusetts, California, New York, Minnesota, and Britain. (MLH)
