Abstract: For example, charter schools' incentives to restrict access are contextually mediated - schools will act differently based on their leaders' perception of competition and view of their school's position in the educational market hierarchy (Jabbar [5]). Overall, I School's Choice i provides a thorough accounting of the ways that charter schools can restrict access, and a helpful vocabulary to describe why charter schools may rely on exclusionary practices. By speaking generally about the issue of access for charter schools, Mommandi and Welner miss an opportunity to explore the role that different exclusionary charter school practices likely play in different contexts.
