An Appraisal of Secretary of Education Lamar Alexander's First Year in Office.
Bell, Terrel H.; Elmquist, Donna L.
Phi Delta Kappan, v73 n10 p757-59 Jun 1992
Although U.S. Education Secretary Lamar Alexander's strategy includes a track for today's students, emphasis has been on the new generation of schools advocated in the America 2000 plan. This article pleads for concrete steps to improve the education of today's students and recommends a book ("How to Shape Up Our Nation's Schools") to achieve short-term objectives. (MLH)
