مستخلص: Discontent with public education is feeding a movement to make private education public policy, with potentially disastrous results. Unionization and bureaucratization of the public schools has lessened their effectiveness and disaffected parents feel increasingly that public schools do not offer children social mobility and the opportunity for economic equality. This is particularly true in the case of children at the lower socioeconomic level. Privatization of the schools is not feasible for the urban poor. This concept diverts attention from the basic problems of educating this sizeable group of children. A closer relationship between schooling and active participation in the labor force will make education more relevant to the needs of these students. (SAS)
