What's It All About, Alfie? A Parent/Educator's Response to Alfie Kohn.
Rochester, J. Martin
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n2 p165-69 Oct 1998
Rebuts Alfie Kohn's article "Only for My Kid: How Privileged Parents are Undermining School Reform" in the April 1998 "Kappan." Kohn expects the author to pay a fortune for a home in an affluent community so his kids can get violence-prevention training and sing "Kumbaya" in a mainstreamed classroom. Earning the right to take an honors class stymies Kohn. (MLH)
