'''School choice''' is a movement initially championed by economist [[Milton Friedman]] and his wife Rose in the late 1960s to allow parents the right to choose alternatives to [[public school]] for their children, and to spend their tax dollars on an alternative rather than on [[public school]]. Vouchers that enable parents to take their tax money and spend it on educational alternatives are the goal of school choice.

As of 2007, school choice is available only in very limited ways and only to a tiny percentage of the population. Wisconsin and Ohio have had very small programs.
