When Public School "Choice" Is Not Academic: Findings from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988.
Sosniak, Lauren A.; Ethington, Corinna A.
Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v14 n1 p35-52 Spr 1992

Little support is found for the argument that choice is currently an inventive way to alter the academic lives of students and teachers. (SLD)
