The Educationally Challenged American School District.
Clinchy, Evans
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n4 p272-77 Dec 1998

The standards movement is touting the traditional, top-down, centralized, bureaucratic system modeled after Frederick Taylor and his efficiency experts. Progressive, decentralized initiatives thrive in Boston and New York City. (MLH)
