Discussed by Andrew Coulson. Bottom line: While charter schools have introduced an element of choice into school systems, that choice--and the degree to which the education market has become more free--is severely "attenuated" in comparison with what is needed. As such, people like Chester Finn and William Bennett are wrong to place national standards over school choice. Rather, they should take a look at the current school choice market and demand more of it in order to augment and enhance educational standards.
