The End of a Commonsense Approach to Basics.
Cates, Judith N.; Ash, Philip
Phi Delta Kappan, v65 n2 p137-38 Oct 1983
Examining the history of a "promotion by achievement" program begun in 1973-74 in Greensville County, Virginia, the authors argue that the effects of the program were not racially discriminatory as alleged by a 1980 suit that led to the program's termination in 1981. (JBM)
