On Sheep and Goats and School Reform.
Barth, Roland S.
Phi Delta Kappan, v68 n4 p293-96 Dec 1986
Describes the preoccupation of U.S. schools with "list logic": a conception of educational improvement that relies on the identification and prescription of a myriad of characteristics of effective schools, administrators, and teachers. Suggests reasons for this phenomenon and advocates the alternative of "communities of learners" as a means of achieving excellence. (IW)
