School Daze?

Examines the SchoolMatch database on CD‐ROM, which enables parents and educators to evaluate choices about schools. Discusses how schools are profiled (according to expenditure per pupil, tax base, special educational programmes etc), and how these profiles can be used to locate schools by region for parents either choosing a school or trying to find a school with a new system. Surmises that the database is also valuable to teachers looking for jobs, and since it is on CD, it can be easily offered by libraries with CD drives.
