Should the Public Schools be Entrusted with Preschool Education: A Critique of the AFT Proposals

Fishhaut, Erna H.; Pastor, Donald

School Review, 86, 1, 38-49, Nov 77

Presents a critical appraisal of the American Federation of Teachers manual for the installation of day care in the public schools. Maintains that the difficulties of retraining elementary teachers for preschool programs, a crucial part of the AFT's proposals, are much greater than the AFT envisions. Also considers the variety of services necessary for quality child care and parent involvement. (Editor/RK)
