Cetron, Marvin and Margaret Gayle. Educational Renaissance: Our Schools at the Turn of the Century. New York, NY: St. Martin's Press, 1991.
| This survey of American schools at the end of the 1980's is, more than a decade later, primarily of historical interest. Have its recommendations been applied and its prognoses been fulfilled? It would take a follow-up survey do answer these questions. School administrators, teachers, parents, and, especially, politicians still complain about the 'deplorable' state of education in America yet much has been done, especially on the state and local levels, and much more could be done if the restraints put on school systems by politicians and by test-oriented national policies could be lifted in favor of student-centered initiatives. The volume is packed with statistics for the 1980's so a companion volume for the 1990's would be welcome. The fact that studies and documents referred to in the text are not identified further in a bibliography does detract from the value of the book. |
