Horace's Frustration, Horace's Hope.
Sizer, Theodore R.
English Journal, v86 n5 p20-24 Sep 1997
Outlines, via the fictional character Horace, what many of today's English teachers may be feeling: the compromises, frustrations, and hopes involved in their work. Discusses reform today, maintaining the status quo, and an emerging pattern of change in high schools. Finds cause for hope in the troubled indecision of most Americans about what is wrong with high schools. (SR)
