"For over two hundred years, legislators, educators, and public-minded citizens have debated ways of governing their country's public schools. In these debates the opportunity - or absence - of participating in the choice and the administration of schools has been an ever-present concern to parents. This new book from historian Jurgen Herbst reviews these debates and discusses such present-day school choice related issues as racial integration, ethnicity, social class, vouchers, charter, magnet, and private schools in the United States, the former German Democratic Republic, and the Federal Republic of Germany."--Jacket.
