Rethinking School Choice: Limits of the Market Metaphor
Advocates of school vouchers and other choice proposals couch their arguments in the fashionable language of economic theory. Choice initiatives at all levels of government have succeeded, it is claimed, because they shift responsibility for education reform from government to market forces. This timely book disputes the appropriateness of the market metaphor as a guide to education policy.

In The Fight for America's Schools, Barbara Ferman and her coauthors show parents and communities mobilizing in new and effective ways to resist or reconfigure threats imposed in the name of education reform. In this reflection on the volume, I discuss ways in which the political terrain has been changing and why these changes make the traditional model of organizing—neighborhood-based, localized, focused on education-specific arenas—problematic. Finally, taking off from the ideas and examples presented in the Ferman volume, I sketch out a more optimistic portrayal of why and how new approaches have a chance to succeed.
