On Schools Where Students Want to Be: A Conversation with Deborah Meier.
Scherer, Marge
Educational Leadership, v52 n1 p4-8 Sep 1994
Deborah Meier, coprincipal of Central Park East Secondary School in New York City, never uses "alternative" to describe her school, because that term implies that traditional schooling is acceptable. Creating smaller schools, granting parental choice, hiring intellectually curious teachers, and discussing what it means to be educated are essential school renewal ingredients. (MLH)
