On the Need for National Leadership to Make American Education Work.
Bell, Terrel H.
Phi Delta Kappan, v70 n1 p8-10 Sep 1988
Lauds former Secretary of Education William Bennett's 1988 report, "American Education: Making It Work," as a significant contribution-- especially regarding curriculum development recommendations. Criticizes Bennett for blaming teachers' unions for school reform shortcomings. Since failure in the home greatly influences declining student achievement, education must become a community responsibility. (MLH)
