Authors: Berman, Sheldon1 (AUTHOR) shelberman@comcast.net

Subject Terms: *School choice, *Public education, *School environment, Intention, Segregation, Democracy, Participation
Abstract: The article examines the impact of school choice on the development of healthy learning communities, contrasting it with traditional residential school assignments. The author argues that while school choice may foster a shared commitment to a school's mission among families, it can also lead to exclusivity and segregation, undermining the democratic purpose of public education. The analysis highlights that residence-based schools can cultivate community and inclusivity, despite systemic challenges, and emphasizes the importance of considering the historical and political context of school choice policies. Ultimately, the article suggests that the effectiveness of either system should be evaluated based on their ability to promote inclusivity and support democratic values in education.
