A Lack Of Choice

Paper Summary:

The paper identifies how one of the most significant problems facing public education in the West is a simple lack of choice. In the United States, especially, educational standardization is restricting and destroys the spirit of freedom on which educational inquiry must be based. The paper contends that a concerted effort to develop school choice programs would be the best means by which the educational system could be reformed.

From the Paper:

"How can educators expect students to actively engage in the process of learning when they're behavior is strictly monitored and controlled, their ability to question and probe outside of the curriculum severely limited? There are students who simply do not want to learn algebra but would leap out of bed everyday to work in a wood shop. Some students are drawn to the study of language or arts but can only engage this study so much before they are ushered into another classroom where students throw balls at one another."
