Steps on the Way to a Democratic School Constitution.
Knab, Doris
European Education, v23 n4 p74-84 Win 1991-92
Suggests that the constitution or structure of schools should be democratic to foster democracy. Discusses the value of parents' voices in decision making, but warns of the tendency toward bureaucracy. Argues that structural indexes must be formulated so that they can be transformed into instructional processes by a coupling of institutionalization and deinstitutionalization. (DK)
