Description

This critical examination by Lois Andre-Bechely explores how school choice policies create and sustain race- and class-based inequities in urban education. The book contrasts the real experiences of diverse parents navigating school selection with policies ranging from voluntary integration mandates to the No Child Left Behind Act, revealing how access to schools of choice depends on more than desire-it requires detailed knowledge of processes and practices that disadvantage families with fewer resources. Andre-Bechely documents the complex ways parents become complicit in perpetuating historical inequalities through their choices, offering essential insight into how well-intentioned policies can entrench educational disparities. Published by Routledge as part of the Critical Social Thought series, this work combines rigorous research with accessible narrative to challenge assumptions about school choice and educational equity.

Key Features
