• W299904003 abstract "Checked: Dodenhoff, Fixing the Milwaukee Public Schools: Limits of Parent-Driven Reform. Wisconsin Policy Research Institute Report, Vol. 20, No. 8 (October 2007). Heads understandably turned last October when the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel announced the release of a new study concluding that choice isn't a powerful tool for driving educational improvement in Milwaukee Public Since the early 1990s, Milwaukee has been home to an increasingly varied array of school choice programs that now includes the nation's oldest voucher program, numerous charter schools, and extensive inter-and intra-district public-school choice systems. Had credible evidence emerged that these programs were for naught? Equally startling was the study's source: the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute, a conservative think tank funded in large part by the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, one of the nation's leading backers of school choice. The report you are reading did not yield the results we had hoped to find, wrote George Lightbourn, a senior fellow at the institute and former secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Administration, in a foreword accompanying the study. Lightbourn lamented the study's central finding that, despite the impressive array of school choice options available to Milwaukee parents, only 10 percent have been the active consumers that would exert market-based influence to [sic] the school system. He fretted, too, about low levels of parental involvement in the district, especially among parents of older children. For children ages fourteen to seventeen, he wrote, only 11 percent of MPS [Milwaukee Public Schools] parents are actively involved both in the school setting and at home. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Lightbourn may well have spared himself this agonizing. study contains no direct information whatsoever about the actual behavior of Milwaukee parents--and certainly nothing that would justify the very specific claims stated above. Its author, David Dodenhoff, Ph.D., makes no claim to have interviewed a single Milwaukee parent, nor to have surveyed any of them by mail or on the Internet. Instead, Dodenhoff bases his study on information gathered from a national sample of parents, not from anyone in Milwaukee. His approach assumes that, when it comes to school choice, the behavior of Milwaukee parents is identical to that of parents of similar demographic background nationwide, despite the fact that Milwaukee's school choice environment is unique. method is akin to estimating the share of Hawaiians who surf by counting the number of surfers nationwide, no matter their proximity to a beach, the height of the waves, or the warmth of the water. A flawed approach Milwaukee has the most extensive system of school choice in any American city. As of 2005, more than one-third of the city's parents chose either to enroll their child in a charter school, use a voucher to go to a private school, or seek out a place in a suburban public school. All other students in Milwaukee may choose among the city's traditional public schools, a policy put in place years ago to foster school integration. Each winter, the school district asks parents to list up to three schools they want their child to attend the following fall. vast majority of those who complete an application receive their first choice. Dodenhoff set out in his study to assess the potential for public school choice to improve student achievement in Milwaukee Public Schools. Despite the fact that such information is readily available, he did not find out how many public school parents are sending their children to suburban schools, or selecting a charter school, or filling out the form listing their three school choices within the traditional public sector. Instead, Dodenhoff looked at what parents around the United States are doing, as reported in the National Household Education Survey conducted in 2003 by the U. …" @default.
