The Cultural Contradictions of Middle Schooling for Rural Community Survival.
DeYoung, Alan J.; And Others
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v11 n1 p24-35 Spr 1995
The middle school movement is not about being better able to meet the learning needs of preadolescents; middle schools are attractive mostly for administrative, not pedagogical reasons. Middle school advocates overlook the cultural context of rural schools and the violence done to communitarian precepts when middle school construction results in rural school consolidation. (LP)
