Flow, Eros, and Ethos in Educational Renewal.
Goodlad, John I.
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n8 p571-78 Apr 1999
As Arthur Schlesinger predicted, private interests are subverting public purpose. The narrative of economic utility dominates school reform. Reform language is not uplifting and embodies the traditional connotations of things gone wrong that need correcting. The language of renewal celebrates the self and reflects a supportive, caring ethos. (25 references) (MLH)
