School Choice in an Established Market destroys forever the cosy myth that fee-paying schools are large successful charitable institutions catering chiefly for a select group of privileged families. A typical fee-paying school is, in fact, a privately owned coeducational urban day school with fewer than a hundred pupils, perhaps even fewer than twenty pupils. The ?«reluctant?» private sector is growing and it gives the reader an insight into the perceptions of state schooling in the light of recent reforms, from those on the outside.
