Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 12.16.1999
For years, critics of public education have complained about the phenomenon of social promotion.

In 1998, California enacted a law to eliminate this practice, but so far the law seems to have been wholly ineffective.
Making School Choice Work for All Families
Submitted by John E. Coons, Stephen D. Sugarman on 12.1.1999
Making School Choice Work for All Families is the one of a three-part series, Templates for Legislative and Policy Reform. The other two templates address the issues of academic standards and charter schools. The series recommends best practices and legislative language and highlights problem areas that arise when policy deviates from those best practices.
