In the U.S. there is three common programs of school choice: charter schools, vouchers, and open enrollment. According to King (2005) “charter schools are publicly funded, privately run schools providing a viable alternative for parents and students who are unsatisfied with the traditional public…

One of the most important issues for parents is their child’s education. The quality of education that a child receives is based largely on where they attend school. The topic of school choice and how it affects a student’s ability to obtain a high-quality education is a vastly debated topic in education today.

Disparities between school choice are distinctive between certain circumstances of student and parents. The existence of a metaphoric market contributes immensely on school choice as it creates a divide between several factors of socioeconomic class, power divide of parents and students, locality and privatisation of schooling due to public image (Proctor & Saiprakash, 2013). This is the basis for our sociological study on school choice and the privatisation of schooling, resulting in schools…

School Choice: Addressing the Education Divide When compared to the rest of the world, the education system in the United States is lagging. When assessed against the education standards of the world, the United States doesn’t rank in the top 10 of most educated countries.

I’ve always felt that school was a choice for me and that it would be the basis that started the rest of my life. My choices were either to push myself and achieve a successful education.

One class of my choice was the Honors English 4 course. It was a big step from what I am use to but I feel that while I have weaknesses I…

Out of all four years of my high school, I changed most during my sophomore year. I thought I finally understood my environment. I was no longer the tiny little freshman who had no idea what she was doing.
