Andrew Coulson
-Working from an historical perspective, Coulson has written an
apologia for competitive, free market education... In Coulson's
terms competitive, free market education will provide for a more
innovative, more flexible, and more responsive system of
schooling... Coulson believes that a competitive school system will
result in more flexibility and a new range of schooling
alternatives in all shapes and sizes. All levels.- --R. J.
Reynolds, Choice -In this unusually well written and thoroughly
researched book, Andrew J. Coulson ranges from ancient Greece and
Rome to modern America and Japan to document his conclusion that
parental choice in a private educational market is afar more
effective system for educating children than government-run
schools. Encyclopedic in its coverage of the arguments for and
against alternative modes of organizing schooling, readers will
find this excellent book instructive whether they agree or disagree
with his conclusion.- --Milton Friedman, Nobel Laureate in
Economics -Coulson's [Market Education] is a sweeping blow to those
of us who keep hoping the system that served earlier generations
reasonably well can be helped to overcome the effects of bad
policies, inadequate teachers, disengaged parents, and indifferent
students to perform its magic yet again. He wonders if the magic
was ever there. . . .- --William Raspberry, The Washington Post
-School choice has a much longer history than most imagine. All
those committed to school reform should read this fascinating
historical account.- --Paul Peterson, Henry Lee Shattuck Professor
of Government, and Director of the Program on Education, Policy,
and Governance, Harvard University -American schools cost more than
do those in most other countries. Yet, the longer our students are
in school, the further they fall behind students in other advanced
countries. Andrew Coulson draws upon both history and current
research to identify clear reasons for such poor results. His book
convincingly tells policymakers and parents how to solve the
deep-seated problems of our schools.- --Herbert J. Walberg,
Research Professor of Education and Psychology, University of
Illinois at Chicago -Coulson's use of international historical
evidence to analyze contemporary debates typically driven by
ideology is refreshing, and represents a major contribution ot the
field of educational policy.- --Martin West, Oxford University
