Posted on

1. According to the Shopping for Homes and Schools article, what factors determined where the West Hartford parents that were interviewed sent their kids to school?  Were you surprised by the findings?

2. What are the limitations of the data found in both studies? Do you think one research method was more effective in examining factors for school choice in suburbia? Why or why not?

3. If given the opportunity to conduct further research on either study what would you change?
