Abstract | In this report, the author presents the results of the Heritage Foundation's 2007 parental choice survey of Members of Congress, conducted to determine the percentage of Members of Congress that practice private school choice. It was found that the percentage of Members of the 110th Congress who practice private school choice is disproportionate to the general populace, and that Members of the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, who represent populations that have fared poorly academically in public schools and that, in the author's estimation, stand to benefit the most from educational options, showed particularly high rates of practicing school choice. These and other findings, as well as school choice developments in Congress since 2003, are discussed. (Contains 2 tables and 26 footnotes.) (ERIC). |
