| Abstract
|
:
|
Using the methods of political philosopher John Rawls, this book looks at whether American schools are socially just institutions. It argues for four principles that express the basic purposes that Americans hold for their schools : personal literty, democracy, equal opportunity and economic growth. These principles are used to analyze controversies in education policy and practice about curriculum content, instructional methods, education standards, civic education, control of schools and school finance.
