Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How have the educational goals of American public high schools changed over time What can the experiences of one secondary school tell us about the problems they all face today This book provides an analytical history of the origins and development of Central High School, the first high school in Philadelphia and a model for many subsequent institutions. Using Central as a case study, David F. Labaree argues that the American public high school can be viewed as the product of both democratic politics and capitalist markets: although it was originally intended to produce informed citizens for the new republic, the high school, with its meritocratic emphasis, instead became a vehicle for conferring status on the select group that was educated there. The struggle between these two goals--one leading to political equality and the other reinforcing economic inequality--has characterized its history ever since, says Labaree.
