What do you think? Do you agree or disagree with the concept of school choice? Is it effective? Will school choice improve students’ learning achievement? Will school choice improve the quality of schools? Can you think of an alternative to school choice? Is there a better option? How do you think public dollars should be allocated?

References A Chronology of School Choice in the U.S. This scholarly article discussed the history of the school choice starting from the Colonial Era and all the way to After finishing this lesson, I found an updated article written by Kafer. I could not find the complete article, so I used the 2008 edition. This article was helpful to learn the chronological order of school choice in the U.S. This information can be found on the timeline slides. Kafer, K. (2008).

References We Want School Choice. And We Want It Now! I found this video on YouTube. It is a presentation created by Senator Ted Cruz about the importance of school choice. I chose this video because I found his speech to be very inspirational. I also thought his video was a good start to the beginning of this lesson, as it introduced the subject topic well. Cruz, T.

References Choosing or Losing? The School Choice Controversy This was the first website I stumbled upon on my research about school choice. This article was connected with a video PBS created called School: The History of American Public Education. I found this article very interesting because I initially realize the controversy between whether or not parents should have the option of where their children went to school. I used this reference to show a comparison between the supporters and the opponents of school choice. PBS. (2001). Choosing or Losing? The School Choice Controversy. Retrieved from:

References What is School Choice? I used this website to get a better idea of the types of social choice and the possible schools students can possibly attend. I also thought the graphic was a great example of how everyone must work together and everyone must rely on one another in order to have our students to be successful. This website is a non-profit website in support of school choice. The webpage I looked about was entitled What is School Choice? Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice. (n.d.).
