| Affiliation: | Associate Professor of Social Science and Sociology at Michigan State College. His significant article should stimulate a considerable amount of discussion and questioning among educators. In it, he subjects to critical examination some long unquestioned assumptions concerning the effectiveness of education in providing equality of opportunity and promoting social mobility. He frankly raises the question of whether our avowed attitudes toward the relation of education to social class square with our practice, and, after pointing out the need for a realistic facing of this issue, he describes three alternative oberating policies among which American education can choose in dealing with the issue. |
