All this week, the [Center for Educational Freedom](https://www.cato.org/centers/center-educational-freedom) has been posting clips from [Andrew Coulson](https://www.cato.org/people/andrew-coulson)’s award-winning documentary *[School Inc.](https://www.cato.org/schoolinc),* which takes viewers through time and around the globe to explain how freedom is the key to transforming education for the better. Of course, a few clips can’t convey the entire case. If you want to soak in the whole journey you can do so on the website of [Free to Choose Media](http://www.freetochoosemedia.org/), which finished production of *School Inc.* when Andrew became ill, and is the home to all three episodes. If that doesn’t satisfy your desire to better understand how free markets can work in education, or if you want to learn more about Andrew and his ideas—including disagreements with them—read *Educational Freedom: Remembering Andrew Coulson, Debating His Ideas*. You can get [Kindle](https://www.amazon.com/Educational-Freedom-Remembering-Coulson-Debating-ebook/dp/B0725NB811/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=) or [print-on-demand](https://www.amazon.com/Educational-Freedom-Remembering-Coulson-Debating/dp/1944424520/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=) editions on Amazon, or download a [PDF version right from Cato’s website](https://object.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/pubs/pdf/educational-freedom.pdf).

I hope you had a happy and informative [National School Choice Week](https://schoolchoiceweek.com/)!
