Rosenbaum, Stefan Presser","doi":"10.1086/443404","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/443404","url":null,"abstract":"Magnet schools have become the latest answer to the problem of racially segregated schools. Political backlash and the specter of \"white flight\" have begun to turn some political leaders and courts away from compulsory integration programs and toward voluntary plans to accomplish integration. Magnet schools, so called because they attract-rather than force-students to attend, have been discussed as an approach to integration for at least a decade, but it is only in recent years that the idea has attracted national attention, has been implemented to a significant extent, and has been held out as the answer for accomplishing integration. In the spring of 1976, President Ford was reported to be \"considering the use of Federal money to produce a substitute for busing, perhaps by establishing magnet schools.\"' A search through the ERIC file reveals that at least a dozen cities are planning or have initiated magnet school programs, including Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, Houston, Los Angeles, Mt. Vernon (New York), New York City, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Stamford (Connecticut), and Tacoma (Washington). Magnet schools are premised on the belief that quality education, not integration, is the real issue and that if they can provide high quality education in an integrated setting, then blacks and whites will choose to attend them. Reports in the ERIC file indicate that magnet schools rely on similar kinds of features to attract students: additional resources, individualized instruction, specialized programs tailored to students' individual talents. The reports also suggest that these schools are glowing successes, and, although these claims may be exaggerated, they convey an image of hopefulness and enthusiasm","PeriodicalId":83260,"journal":{"name":"The School science review","volume":"7 1","pages":"156 - 186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87054691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Becker","doi":"10.1086/443407","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/443407","url":null,"abstract":"Teaching is a special form of communication and interaction between teacher and pupil in which the textbook fulfills a key role. Although classroom communication is also achieved through other mediablackboard, maps, slides, tape recorder, language laboratory, radio, film, and television, the textbook continues to occupy a central role, first, because it predates other media, and second, because its use is taken for granted by teachers, pupils, parents, the public, and publishers; for them the institution of school without textbooks would be unthinkable. This is reinforced by a strong sense of the authority of the printed word and the immediate and widespread association in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) of the book, on the one hand, with \"education\" and \"intelligence,\" on the other. The textbook also represents, to some extent at least, children's only involvement with books. Almost all major studies of the leisure activities of children in the FRG have shown that passive-receptive undertakings such as doing nothing, listening to the radio, or watching television far exceed reading. Further, working-class children hardly read at all in their spare time, and in the middle class it is almost only boys who do so (Haseloff 1967, p. 38).

I shall argue that we can. This answer is radical in both the loose and strict sense of the word. In the loose sense it is so unfashionable-at least with respect to the literature in professional education-as to be shocking. But an affirmative answer is also radical in that it goes to the root of the matter, namely, the continued existence of an American public school. In an age when educational questions and answers are shrouded in clouds of administrative complexity and bureaucratic sophistication, perhaps most astonishing is the simplicity, almost simplemindedness, of the formula itself. This paper addresses itself to three topics, namely, the need for a unifying principle, the formulation of a principle for which a maximum consensus can be claimed, and a common curriculum that would implement the principle.","PeriodicalId":83260,"journal":{"name":"The School science review","volume":"68 1","pages":"70 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80859891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Changes in the number of women employed, in family life, and in research in child development have weakened though not eliminated barriers to institutional and out-ofhome child care.' Put simply, so many more young children are spending large periods outside the home in various group-care environments that pressure for child-care facilities has outrun supply. With the private market under attack as a mechanism to meet daycare needs, attention has turned to public subsidies.2 At the national level, the introduction of the Comprehensive Child Development Act in 1971 and similar bills in subsequent years and the vetoes by Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford in 1971 and 1976 of legislation to expand federal financing have stimulated further controversy. It is likely that the next few years will see renewed efforts to engage the federal government in child care as part of family-assistance legislation. The breadth and intensity of issues raised by the child-care debate are striking: the nature of family life, the legitimacy of government involvement, the relationship of child care to other social services, increasing work opportunities for women, the nature of child development, early preparation for schooling, and methods of funding are","PeriodicalId":83260,"journal":{"name":"The School science review","volume":"40 1","pages":"5 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86125946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
