Featuring contributions from top educational researchers  and practitioners from around the world, the essays reflect the latest research findings  and feature viewpoints of both advocates and opponents of various educational systems and school choices. Following a series of readings that explore the history and current state of traditional education in the United States, essays then delve deeply into the six most common alternatives to traditional public schools: charter schools, magnet schools,  school vouchers, home schooling, private schools, and virtual schools. America's educational options are then looked at objectively from outside our borders—with several international scholars weighing in on school choice experiments in the United States. Final readings speak to issues affecting the future of school choice alternative—the role of teachers' unions, separation of church and state, ethnic re-segregation, special needs populations,  parental roles, legal implications, and more—along with predictions for the future of each school choice option. Scholarly and thought-provoking, \u003ci\u003eThe Wiley Handbook of School Choice\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of the future of education in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990372729061,"sku":"NP9781119082354","price":218.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119082354.jpg?v=1761787560","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-wiley-handbook-of-school-choice-isbn-9781119082354","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
