This book, a group of essays originally published in the journal "Education Next: A Journal of Opinion and Research," examines the benefits and challenges of school choice and competition. Most topics, from charter schools to vouchers to teacher unions, are arranged with one essay making the case for change, and a second essay pointing out its possible pitfalls. The collection brings together leading experts in American education. John Chubb of Edison Schools, Inc. writes about unleashing the power of private industry in education, while Bruno Manno of the Annie E. Casey Foundation examines charter school politics. The volume is edited by Paul E. Peterson, director of the Program on Education Policy and Governance at Harvard University.
