They show that most ingredients of a robust market are missing. Well-informed consumers (parents) are not the norm. State fiscal incentives are counterproductive, and competition among public and choice schools is difficult to discern. They conclude that school choice could succeed if certain conditions were met, and they offer guidelines to strengthen accountability and repair the voucher system. 606 $aSchool choice$zWisconsin$zMilwaukee$vCase studies 606 $aEducational accountability$zWisconsin$zMilwaukee$vCase studies 615 0$aSchool choice 615 0$aEducational accountability 676 $a371.1/11/0977595 700 $aVan Dunk$b Emily$f1966-$01571229 701 $aDickman$b Anneliese$f1972-$01571230 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777852203321 996 $aSchool choice and the question of accountability$93845517 997 $aUNINA
