Choice, Competition, and Equity: Lessons from Research in the United Kingdom.
Gewirtz, Sharon
Journal of Curriculum and Supervision, v11 n3 p205-28 Spr 1996

Findings showed that the market is a middle-class mode of social engagement; parental choice is class- and race-informed; schools are increasingly oriented toward meeting middle-class parents' perceived needs; and secondary schooling is becoming less equitable.
