Are Teachers Losing Control of Their Skills and Curriculum?

Apple, Michael W.; Teitelbaum, Kenneth

Journal of Curriculum Studies, v18 n2 p177-84 Apr-Jun 1986

This external control is being vested in legislative and administrative bodies, which are more apt to turn the school over to managerial and industrial needs. Teachers should take organized action to defend their right to control the classroom. (RM)
