Public Schools and the Common Good.

Reese, William J.

Educational Theory, v38 n4 p431-40 Fall 1988

Improving public school education, especially for the poor, requires defining and articulating some vision of the common good. This article reviews key positions taken by liberals and conservatives regarding educational reform during the 19th and 20th centuries and critiques these positions with regard to their disservice to the poor.
