Public and Private Education: Partners or Competitors?
Hunter, Eagan
NASSP Bulletin, v71 n495 p79-83 Jan 1987
Traces the historical development of the contemporary dual school system that separates private and public schools in the United States. Reveals how nonpublic, religiously sponsored education predated the public schools, which were introduced in the 1830s. Points to a need to redefine the way we look at the two existing systems. (MD)
