The Big Benefits of Smallness.

Meier, Deborah W.

Educational Leadership, v54 n1 p12-15 Sep 1996

Small schools (300 to 400 students) offer a real panacea for America's educational ills. New York City's celebrated Central Park East schools lack separate buildings, but have the climate and culture for developing democratic habits of heart and mind. Smallness can facilitate governance, respect, simplicity, safety, parent involvement, accountability, and student belonging. (MLH)
