"This book makes a forceful, tough-minded contribution to the raging debate over school choice. But it goes well beyond this debate, and refocuses the way we look at education."---John F. Witte, University of Wisconsin-Madison, co-editor of, Choice and Control in American Education --- "A tightly argued effort to reduce the crisis mentality about American education and suggest that shopping for schools is not the same as shopping for VCRs. . . . An intricate but fair-minded discussion that ultimately--while for choice--comes down against market-based vouchers." --- "For anyone interested in a full treatment of [choice], Henig's Rethinking School Choice is an absolute must. Exhaustive, comprehensive, and balanced, Henig's book sets the standard, for style as well as context, against which others will be measured."---Gerald Bracey, The Washington Post
