What Is a "Public School"? Principles for a New Century
Hess, Frederick M.
Phi Delta Kappan, v85 n6 p433 Feb 2004
Recent developments in the provision of education in the U.S. mean that the old definitions of "public schooling" no longer hold. In this article, Mr. Hess offers his suggestions for a broadened definition that will help public education regain its status as a shared ideal. He offers five questions to guide the efforts to bring more precision to the understanding of "public schooling."
