How Much Do Americans Value Schooling?
Thomson, Scott D.
NASSP Bulletin, v73 n519 p51-67 Oct 1989
Examines the relationships between schooling and five areas of national life: economic factors, public law and regulations, home factors, social conditions, and media and popular culture. Compared with South Korea and West Germany, the U.S. "national report card" is mediocre. Increasing youth employment in the U.S. is one reason. Includes 20 references. (MLH)
