The Media's Myth of School Failure.
Bracey, Gerald W.
Educational Leadership, v52 n1 p80-83 Sep 1994
The (media-induced) aura of failure surrounding schools is so pervasive that even friends of education misinterpret data. Four Bracey reports published in "Phi Delta Kappan" amassed substantial positive evidence, but the media choose to accentuate the negative. Given the severe decline in other social institutions, schools are performing rather well. (32 references) (MLH)
