American education has expErienced a sEries of cyclical reForm efforts which have been generally heralded by intense criticism, angry exposetype books, and a search for scapegoats. Most of these reForms overlook two factors outside the school which seriously impact the system: Changing social demographics and shifting student enrollment patterns. These social changes call for new approaches in the organization and administration of our schools with the full support of the family and community. Teacher preparation and schooling must focus on liberal education which, in turn, will produce students capable of learning how to learn aLong with the ability to evaluate life's activities with a growing sense of moral purpose. © 1986, Sage Publications.
