Standards for American Schools: Help or Hindrance?
Eisner, Elliot W.
Phi Delta Kappan, v76 n10 p758-60,62-64 Jun 1995

Education's aim is not to train an army marching to the same drummer. Teachers' challenge is to provide conditions fostering the growth of personal characteristics that are socially important and personally satisfying to the student. (MLH)
