A Response to the Critics.
Metcalf, Fay D.; Jenness, David
Social Education, v55 n1 p24-26 Jan 1991
Responds to critiques of the National Commission for Social Studies in the Schools' curriculum report, "Charting A Course: Social Studies for the 21st Century" (Social Education, Nov-Dec, 1990). Contends that the guideline provides for citizenship education, disciplined knowledge, and reflective education. Argues that the debate represents the traditional division over what forms the core of social studies education. (NL)
