The School Choice Debate
Captions available
The idea
School choice policy divides over whether public funding should follow students to alternatives, such as charter schools, or stay with an assigned school; both positions are reported.
In practice
Choice advocates argue alternatives serve students poorly matched to their school; opponents argue it leaves other schools with fewer resources.
Where people slip
Per this course's neutrality convention, the dispute is stated without declaring which model wins.
