A Not-So-Modest-Proposal: The Fate of Special Education.
Hampson, Eric
B.C. Journal of Special Education, v15 n2 p127-36 1991
The author contends that special education suffers from (1) the inappropriateness of the "industrial model" for education; (2) a failure by governments to appreciate that schools are catering to a future that is passing; (3) the need to separate liberal education from technical training for employment; and (4) oversensitivity toward fostering an educated elite.
