The Not-So-Common School.
McPherson, R. Bruce; McPherson, Carolyn M.
California Journal of Teacher Education, v9 n2 p40-55 Spr 1982
The evolving common school is public, community-based, supported by public taxation, and a secular alternative available to parents and their children. The "not-so-common" school, an example of which is Mendel Catholic High School (Chicago, Illinois), features curriculum constructed by professionals, religious training, and determination to maintain order.
