Individualism, Community, and Education: An Exchange of Views.

Griffin, Robert S.; Nash, Robert J.

Educational Theory, v40 n1 p1-18 Win 1990

This article presents two perspectives on the place of individualism and community in American schooling. One view maintains that individualism has been ill-defined and played down, producing an unnecessary dichotomy between individualism and community. The second view argues for subordination of individual interests to community goals. (IAH)
