Goals 2000: What's in a Name?
Ohanian, Susan
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n5 p345-55 Jan 2000
Goals 2000 is the offspring of "A Nation at Risk," a 1983 teacher- and school-bashing report. IBM CEO Louis Gerstner named the problem and defined the solution, claiming the need for choice, competition, and technology, recasting students as human capital, and marketizing the teacher/community relationship. Tables summarize critics' concerns. (Contains 13 references.) (MLH)
