Compare three types of alternative types of schooling discussed in the text. In current trends, where do each of these alternatives stand?

What will be an ideal response?


Correct answer varies but must discuss vouchers, charter schools, unschooling and/or homeschooling. It should discuss some characteristics of each, and include that unschooling went by the wayside, while charter schools get mixed reviews and homeschooling is on the rise. Vouchers have variations in support depending on political affiliation-more supported by conservatives as a private market-based solution, a type of solution often not promoted by progressives.
