The promise of the American Dream for many children lay with the public schools, according to Pedro A. Noguera, Sussman Visiting Professor of Education.

The National Working Commission on Choice in K-12 Education has concluded two years of study with a report that details the good that can be done if school choice is well implemented and the harm that can result if it is done quickly, carelessly and on the cheap. It also recommends ample funding (making the case that this will help prevent segregation) more autonomy for all schools to hire teachers on the basis of “fit,” and raises questions about the capacity of existing school districts to properly oversee choice. The report, “School Choice: Doing it the Right Way Makes a Difference” was released on November 17th.
