Books :
"School choice ; Why you need it, how to get it".
Author : David Harmer, 1962-
Publisher : Cato Institute
Date : 1994

Reviews :

The writers of all of the articles do have extensive educational
backgrounds, with the minimum degree possessed is a Master's.
They also have worked in whatever districts they are research-
ing and writing about, which helps in backing up their findings.
The articles were all straight forward and easy to follow. I in-
cluded some recent and not so recent articles to mirror the subject
I am researching. The websites I researched also shared the
same validity with solid educational and employment backgrounds.
The main websites researched were informative as well, but the
main critique I have on the websites is an obvious one. They are
all one-sided. That is indeed no revelation, and it is why the sites
were created ; to get a point across to its readers and to reveal
points of view. The book I am using has some strong factors. It's
author has extensive education, and it was published by an
educational institute. That is important because it is a fact based
research book, and the reputation of the school can be tied in
with what is printed in the book.
