Music, the Humanities, and "A Sense of Where You Are."

Delattre, Edwin J.

Arts Education Policy Review, v96 n6 p21-26 Jul-Aug 1995

Criticizes current educational trends, specifically the lack of critical standards and the tendency to sacrifice content in favor of promoting self-esteem. Argues that the depth and greatness of the humanities is lost in classrooms infatuated with feel-good activities and cultural relativism. (MJP)
