"The public schools are the largest monopoly in the nation, and they have not served our children well. Is there another sphere in which choice and competition has been a matter of such misguided contention? This superb collection of essays asks that timely and vital question with force and clarity. It's a must-read for serious educators." - Abigail Thernstrom, Vice-chair, U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Adjunct Scholar, American Enterprise Institute
