A New Design for Public Education.

Dodd, Anne Wescott

Phi Delta Kappan, v65 n10 p685-87 Jun 1984

Arguing that recent proposals for educational reform will at best only patch up the present system without bringing about the fundamental changes necessary, the author outlines a new design dividing up American schooling into two components: (1) a required core of basic education courses and (2) elective community education courses.
