On Changing Secondary Schools: A Conversation with Ted Sizer.
Brandt, Ron
Educational Leadership, v45 n5 p30-36 Feb 1988
This interview explores the pedagogical views of Ted Sizer, author of "Horace's Compromise," the report of a five-year study of adolescent education. Sizer insists that high schools can do better by doing less and by challenging students to develop intellectually and solve problems on their own. General education teachers learn valuable strategies from vocational education teachers. (MLH)
