The argument over school choice

    We’ll be hearing a lot about school choice throughout Tom Corbett’s gubernatorial term. Arguments, opinions and speculation are expected. Metaphors will be required. We suggest this one: we demand the best and most from our technology — options, alternatives, bells, whistles. What about education? In Centre Square, NewsWorks Director Chris Satullo introduces this metaphor and compares Corbett’s school choice to bill to that of former Pa. Republican Gov. Tom Ridge.
