Reviews
Andrew Coulson was a brilliant man who devoted his life to studying and advancing freedom through school choice. Though no longer with us, his ideas will live on for generations through the researchers, advocates and lawmakers who have embraced the philosophy that education simply works best when students and families are put in charge. - Gov. Jeb Bush, Founder, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Foundation for Excellence in Education When you think about the history and growth of parental school choice, it's hard not to think of the many icons of the movement, among them Milton Friedman, John Walton, the Gleason family and Andrew Coulson. For years, Andrew Coulson was a key voice promoting markets in k-12 education, even when it wasn't popular. This book is a fitting tribute to his importance and his legacy. - Robert Enlow, President and CEO, EdChoice
