-School choice is a movement initially championed by economist [[Milton Friedman]] and his wife Rose in the late 1960s to allow parents the right to choose alternatives to [[public school]] for their children, and to spend their tax dollars on an alternative rather than on [[public school]].  Vouchers that enable parents to take their tax money and spend it on educational alternatives are the goal of school choice.
-As of 2007, school choice is available only in very limited ways and only to a tiny percentage of the population.  Wisconsin and Ohio have had very small programs.
