Musings on the Moral Life of Schools.
Bryk, Anthony S.
American Journal of Education, v96 n2 p256-90 Feb 1988
Many current school problems arise from a desiccated sense of institutional purpose that fosters student and teacher alienation. A regeneration rather than reform is in order. This essay mixes research findings, personal concerns, and individual speculations to provide educators an entry point for further discussion regarding the moral life of schools. (VM)
