Bureaucracy and the Neutering of Teachers.

Frymier, Jack

Phi Delta Kappan, v69 n1 p9-14 Sep 1987

In reviewing a study of elementary urban school teachers, the author points out how the bureaucracy of education stifles teachers' ability to develop an internalized locus of control and leads to disenchantment and alienation. Giving teachers authority to act in their areas of expertise while decentralizing the educational power structure will improve education. (MD)
