Legislating Centralization.
Frymier, Jack
Phi Delta Kappan, v67 n9 p646-48 May 1986
Discusses the trend toward centralized decision making in schools brought about by state legislatures specifying curricular details. In the process, authority is shifted upwards to state level, and professionals become demoralized about changing or improving their schools' curricula. Citing Texas legislation and 11 other references, this paper pleads for more decentralized planning. (MLH)
