Rethinking the Benefits of the College-Bound Curriculum.
Noddings, Nel
Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n4 p285-89 Dec 1996
The elite colleges exert too much control over a vast number of noncollege-bound students. Educators must rethink two beliefs supporting the top-down model of education: faulty notions about equal opportunity, sameness, and the college-bound curriculum's inherent worth; and equally misguided notions about the dangers of specialization and benefits of breadth.
