“Choice can be a useful tool to aid families and educators in inner city and poor communities where education has been a struggle for several generations … If programs are devised correctly, they can provide meaningful educational choices to families that now do not have such choices. And it is not trivial that most people in America ... already have such choices.”

“...[T]here was evidence that [Milwaukee] Choice parents were very dissatisfied with their former (MPS) schools; there may have been good reason for it, as indicated by test scores taken in MPS prior to students enrolling in Choice ... Satisfaction of Choice parents with private schools was just as dramatic as dissatisfaction was with prior public schools ... The results were a dramatic reversal - high levels of dissatisfaction with prior public schools, but considerable satisfaction with private schools ... Finally, parental involvement, which was clearly very high for Choice parents before they enrolled in the program, increased while their children were in private schools.”
