Abstract

While the concept of choice is not new to families able to take advantage of the available options, the idea of giving parents nearly total freedom in selecting their children's public school is new. Proponents of choice claim it results in higher test scores, fewer dropouts, and more involved parents. Critics maintain that there is no proof of school improvement, that there is danger of resegregation, and that the socioeconomic gap will widen. Components critical to an effective school choice program include high quality parent information, guidelines for racial balance, and provisions for transportation. Brief summaries of regional action and agendas concerning parental choice from seven states (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin) as well as guest commentaries : m the education department heads of Iowa and Minnesota are included. A list of 22 references and resources is also provided.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
