A Commentary on Harry Eckstein.

Burnham, Walter Dean

Daedalus, v113 n4 p147-60 Fall 1984

The authority culture of the poor is a barrier to their civic inclusion and to the dreams of liberal educationists. Education's primary purpose is the reproduction of cultural values and role learning among the young. School cannot fill in for the roles and functions of other equally important but failed social institutions. (RM)
