Studying Urban Schools.

Becker, Howard

Anthropology and Education Quarterly, v14 n2 p99-108 Sum 1983

First is the way that scientific research has been used to justify the faults of educational institutions. Second is the inability of ethnographic research to be useful to educational practitioners.
