A New System of Education.

Overview & Synopsis

A review of the literature on the American educational system as well as results from the author's national survey on curriculum articulation provide the basis for a proposal that would restructure elementary, secondary, and higher education in the United States. The proposed system would offer all American citizens two free years of college level training and would require prospective teachers to receive twice as much professional and specialized training as is presently necessary. The book covers a wide range of topics, including educational attainment and job profiles, the relationship of aptitude to achievement at all levels of education, articulation in public and private educational systems, accrediting associations, and myths in education.
