The CBS Programs, Reflectively Speaking.

Metcalf, Lawrence E.

High School Journal, v62 n3 p142-47 Dec 1978

This critique of the television special "Is Anyone Out There Learning?" emphasizes three points: (1) CBS presented its own biases disguised as research; (2) television cannot teach literacy; and (3) CBS made education the scapegoat for our social crisis. All articles in this journal issue concern this television program. (SJL)
