So What Does It Take To Build a School for Democracy?
Meier, Deborah
Phi Delta Kappan, v85 n1 p15-21 Sep 2003
Offers five propositions to help schools prepare students to participate equally in a democratic society: Schools need focus; one size does not fit all; a democratic school culture would have lots of human interaction; forms of governance would differ, too; and reform consistent with democracy takes time. Describes how several exemplary schools carried out these propositions. (PKP)
