American Theory and French Practice: A Theoretical Rationale for Regulating School Choice.

Fowler, Frances C.

Educational Administration Quarterly, v28 n4 p452-72 Nov 1992

Develops a theoretical argument for regulating school choice, using pluralistic concepts. Applies this argument to documentary and interview data concerning a 30-year-old French school choice policy. Because France and the United States have the greatest economic inequalities among Western democracies, the French experience with choice is relevant. Regulated school choice can achieve its goals, barring unforeseen difficulties. (53 references) (MLH)
