School choice p olicies have proliferated in recent years, with parents forced to naviga te complex admission processes. In New York City, families have more opt ions than ever before, but the search for the right school has proven to be time-consuming, painstaking, and anxiety-provoking work. In Kind ergarten Panic, Bailey Brown examines the experiences of parents as they search for elementary schools, finding that socioeconomic inequali ties and persistent disparities in resources, information access, and de cision-making power contribute to broad variation in how families develo p and manage their school-choice labor strategies. The labor that parent s invest in searching for schools is unevenly distributed, and shaped by gender, socioeconomic background, and neighborhood contexts. Drawing on interviews with more than a hundred parents of elementary school studen ts in New York City, Brown shows how inequality manifests itself as pare nts and students deal with the uncertainties of the school choice proces s.
