The 26th Annual Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll of the Public's Attitudes toward the Public Schools.

Elam, Stanley M.; And Others

Phi Delta Kappan, v76 n1 p41-56 Sep 1994

According to the 26th annual Phi Delta Kappan/Gallup Poll, the growth of fighting/violence/gangs and poor discipline are the most serious problems facing today's schools. Parents rate their community schools highly but assign only passing grades to the nation's schools. Most favor character education and President Clinton's education initiatives and oppose vouchers for privately educated children. (MLH)
