A Proposal for School Reform in the Face of Cutbacks.

MacIsaac, Teresa

Education Canada, v24 n3 p38-43 Fall 1984

While fiscal restraint has some negative impact, it provides an opportunity to bring greater order to schooling. The intellectual function of the school is "the perpetuation, transformation, and generation of knowledge grounded in the disciplines." Implicit in this vision of school is rejection of the function of school as socialization. (BRR)
