The Calgary Board of Education has petitioned hard for school choice. This kind of competition leads to 'boutique' schools that are designed to attract students.

In the Calgary Metro today administrator Matt Christison, principal at Centennial High School, discussed some of the challenges that arise from the school choice model. Christison, who advocated for choice, admits that, "...even if we do a really good job, there will still be things that we don't offer that people would like".

This is a contentious subject to say the least. In a report from the Future of Principalship of Canada, one principal called this "path to perfection" a "death march".

How do you feel about boutique schools? What effect do you think they will have on the next generation of learners? Would you like to shop for such a school?
