Beyer, Landon E. – Curriculum Inquiry, 1985
Although "A Nation at Risk" identifies many legitimate problems, the report misconstrues their causes and proposes inappropriate solutions.

Giroux, Henry A. – Curriculum Inquiry, 1985
A recent national conference demonstrated that the Reagan administration's educational reform proposals conceive a narrow economic role for education, deliberately ignoring questions of social inequality. Yet critics have failed to question this hidden agenda. Future debate must acknowledge the link between education and democracy. (MCG)

Buchmann, Margret – Curriculum Inquiry, 1985
The tentativeness of knowledge is a safety catch that a pretension to usefulness tends to remove.
