Further research on what I call the "tyranny of choice," what researchers here dub the "double burden of choice" bit.ly/4nEbBUi "School choice" is not only illusory, it should be undesirable. Freedom from being forced to make burdensome choices is better, if we would just make ALL SCHOOLS desirable

The Double Burden of School Choice USC Rossier Professor Huriya Jabbar et al find that “Despite policy efforts to improve equity and access in school choice, families dealt with uncertainty and waiting periods and ultimately felt disempowered by the process.” doi.org/10.1177/2332...
