  • "When it comes down to choosing a school for your children, do you find it difficult to deal with the apparent conflict between your political beliefs and your personal commitments? This book is for parents who have a choice about what kind of school their children go to and find that the choice raises moral dilemmas: should you agonise about whether you are justified in seeking the best for your children?; is there something wrong with an education system that permits children's chances in life to be influenced by their parents' ability and willingness to pay?; should you disapprove of an arrangement in which the most able and motivated children are creamed off, worsening the educational experience of the majority?; should equality of opportunity restrict what parents should be allowed to do for their children?; and how can you apply principle to practice?"
  • "How Not to be a Hypocrite: the indispensable guide to school choice that morally perplexed parents have been waiting for. Many of us believe in social justice and equality of opportunity - but we also want the best for our kids. How can we square our political principles with our special concern for our own children? This marvellous book takes us through the moral minefield that is school choice today. Does a commitment to social justice mean you have to send your children to the local comprehensive - regardless of its academic results? Is it hypocritical to disapprove of private schools and yet send your child to one? Some parents feel guilty but shouldn't. Others should feel guilty but don't. Read How Not to be a Hypocrite, then answer the questionnaire, and work out where you stand on this crucial issue."@en
