Discussion on The Private School Choice Throughout the United States.

/in /by

You will prepare and submit a term paper on The Private School Choice Throughout the United States. Your paper should be a minimum of 1250 words in length. This paper argues against this prevailing assumption. Hence, this paper tries to answer two major questions: (1) is the argument of private school choice advocates well-founded. and (2) do private schools actually cater to the same students and achieve much better outcomes?

The private school choice is not the first education program to ask the public to finance the tuition fees of students who are selected by private schools (Cookson, 1992). This should be expected. Private schools do not have desegregation directives, teacher unions, red tape, affirmative action, or tenure to deal with. they are vulnerable only to the regulation of the market. Hence, to solve the problem in education and on behalf of equality, parents, particularly low-income parents, should be permitted to make use of public resources to enroll their children in private schools. According to Alrdrich (2004), what differentiates this program for public assistance to private education from other education agendas is that it is being promoted almost entirely on account of education reform and development. certainly, as the education program that would render any others futile.

James S. Coleman, whose study in 1981 on the differences of public schools and private schools in terms of performance is regarded as the leading source of empirical substantiation of the superiority of private schools, cautioned that “one should not make a mistake: Our estimates for the size of the private-sector effects show them not to be large” (Cookson, 1992, 137). Few researchers have reported that the slight private school advantage discovered by Coleman vanished when differences in pupils’ course preference and family context were considered (Cookson, 1992). John Chubb and Terry Moe are the current sources of ‘impartial evidence’ of the superiority of private schools. Numerous policymakers and opinion-editorial writers have reiterated their argument as dogma, and large numbers of people have been convinced of public assistance for private schools on their influence.

This week culminates in your submission of an annotated bibliography that should consist of an introduction, followed by two quantitative article annotations, two qualitative article annotations, and two mixed methods article annotations for a total of six annotations, followed by a conclusion. An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected sources accompanied by a respective annotation. Each annotation consists of a summary, analysis, and application for the purpose of conveying the relevance and value of the selected source. As such, annotations demonstrate a writer’s critical thinking about and authority on the topic represented in the sources. In preparation for your own future research, an annotated bibliography provides a background for understanding a portion of the existing literature on a particular topic. It is also a useful precursor for gathering sources in preparation for writing a subsequent literature review. Please review the assignment instructions below and click on the underlined words for information about how to craft each component of an annotation. Please use the document “Annotated Bibliography Template with Example” for additional guidance. It is recommended that you use the grading rubric as a self-evaluation tool before submitting your assignment. By Day 7 Use the Walden library databases to search for quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research articles from peer-reviewed journals on your topic of interest. Before you read the full article and begin your annotation, locate the methodology section in the article to be sure that it describes the appropriate research design. For quantitative research articles, confirm that a quantitative research design, such as a quasi-experimental, casual comparative, correlational, pretest–posttest, or true experimental, was used in the study. For qualitative research articles, confirm that a qualitative research design or approach, such as narrative, ethnographic, grounded theory, case study, or phenomenology, was used in the study. For mixed methods research articles, confirm that a mixed methods research (MMR) design was used in the study. There are several design classifications in MMR; some examples of MMR types or families of design are parallel, concurrent, sequential, multilevel, or fully integrated mixed methods design. Prepare an annotated bibliography that includes the following: A one-paragraph introduction that provides context for why you selected the six research articles you did: two quantitative, two qualitative, and two MMR. A reference list entry in APA Style for each of the six articles that follows proper formatting. Follow each reference list entry with a three-paragraph annotation that includes: An application as illustrated in this example An analysis A summary A one-paragraph conclusion that presents a synthesis of the six articles. Format your annotated bibliography in Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced. A separate References list page is not needed for this assignment. Submit your Annotated Bibliography.
