Abstract | In this paper, I share the findings of my qualitative study of parental choice processes that reflected an intricate system of advantages and resulted in the creation and maintenance of increasingly segregated, like-minded school communities. Drawing on Dewey's conceptions of public and private and of democratic education, I argue that the creation of distinctive school communities runs counter to the advancement of a more just, democratic society and educational system. I further claim that parental choice cannot accurately be understood as a private choice due to the shared consequences that create a public dimension. Policy changes to address the negative shared consequences of school choice in turn must be democratically negotiated among the members of the impacted public. (As Provided). |
