The Educationally Challenged American School District.
Clinchy, Evans
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n4 p272-77 Dec 1998
Two national reform movements--one focused on creating small, autonomous schools, the other fixated on a standardization agenda--are basically in conflict. The standards movement is touting the traditional, top-down, centralized, bureaucratic system modeled after Frederick Taylor and his efficiency experts. Progressive, decentralized initiatives thrive in Boston and New York City. (MLH)
