| Zusammenfassung: | "Choice in education is an issue of community empowerment. As Clifford W. Cobb demonstrates in this persuasive look at school choice, the most effective schools are those founded in a community of parents, students, and teachers working together toward shared goals. Cobb maintains that this kind of mutually supportive organization is essential to rescue not only our children's education but also the communities that protect us from the increasing domination of our lives by large, bureaucratic institutions. We must begin, he believes, to trust parents to choose the schools that best serve their needs and the needs of their children - or to start their own schools if they have to." "This book makes a convincing case that the best way to achieve meaningful choice is through a system of enrollment vouchers used in conjunction with deregulation of public schools. Cobb explains why watered-down plans restricting choice to state-controlled schools are sure to fail. Reform must be complete. In the system he proposes, vouchers would be distributed to families for all children of school age and could be redeemed at either public or nonpublic schools of those families' choice. At the same time, public schools would be allowed to operate as effectively as nonpublic schools, free of the dead hand of bureaucracy." "This volume presents a wealth of evidence in support of vouchers, describing programs in the United States as well as voucher-like systems in other countries. The author recounts the success of a voucher system for higher education (the GI Bill) and cites functioning voucher programs for housing and daycare. He establishes that the contest surrounding vouchers is incorrectly seen as a struggle over public or private control of education. Instead, the political dialogue should be concerned with whether democracy is more likely to thrive where there is diversity fostered by choices. If we blot out the distinctive features of subgroups within the United States, Cobb warns, we will destroy an important source of national strength. Even if supporting community poses a risk of too much diversity, he finds that a risk worth taking." "Cobb uses factual case studies to show how vouchers can enable poor families to help themselves. Even without a voucher plan, a surprising number of low-income families already make use of nonpublic schools. Desperate to get a child out of a debilitating public-school environment, a family living below the poverty line may forgo free schooling and choose instead a school where tuition must be paid - a heroic act, he observes, entirely unrecognized by those who attack vouchers as elitist and contrary to democratic principles. Cobb also describes how vouchers will offer racial and ethnic minorities the option of supporting integrated schools or of establishing separate schools in which to develop their own community leadership. If you think of vouchers as subsidies for the rich, this book will change your mind." "The author's deep belief in the potential of choice to build self-governing communities, together with the practical evidence he assembles in support of vouchers, will give readers hope for the future of our schools and our society."--BOOK JACKET |
