Stretching Students' Minds Is Basic Education.
Applebaum, Kathy; Cross, Christopher T.
Educational Leadership, v55 n6 p74-76 Mar 1998
The Council for Basic Education advocates for a strong liberal arts education, linked to high standards in core subject areas. A basic education has an academic focus centered on intellectual values. If students graduate from schools with high academic expectations, companies will have internationally competitive work forces. Equity can be achieved if inner-city schools have high standards and expectations for students. (15 references) (MLH)
