Abstract
Abstract The educational crisis is front-page news. Daily newspaper articles, television specials, and political campaign coverage regularly carry stories of blue-ribbon commission reports on the sad condition of American schools. During the 1980s, at least two dozen major reports have appeared. Each claims that the crisis of education is at the root of the troublesome 15 year decline in national industrial productivity and thus central to the country's sliding competitive edge — particularly when compared with Japan and West Germany. The failure of the schools is even said to be reflected in the character of the population and the ingenuity of the American work force.
