- Summary:
- Educating Milwaukee is both an example of school "choice" successes and a cautionary tale that traces how the modern school choice movement and its competing visions have played out over the decades in one city s ever-evolving school choice system, a system that now consists of charter schools, open enrollment, state-funded vouchers, neighborhood schools, and mixed results.
