The Public Perception of Education

Hechinger, Fred M.

College Board Review, 102, 12-5, Win 77

Consideration is given to who or what is to blame for the public's disillusionment about the value of education--politicians, the rebellious 1960s, the communications media, or education itself. The author suggests that public attitudes traditionally waver between extremes, and sees a reaffirmation of faith in education. (Editor/LBH)
