Abstract

Let Educators Run Our Schools
Lieberman, Myron | March 7, 1959 issue

add to cart   close window

The article constitutes the a constructive analysis of the U.S. public-school system. Local control over curricula will be a major casualty of the growing national stake in the quality of public education. Within the foreseeable future, communities will no longer decide what subjects are to be taught in the public schools nor will local parent teacher associations, citizens' committees, veterans' organizations and other pressure groups which currently influence the school boards. Eventually, authority over the curriculum will be lodged with national professional agencies.
