Abstract

Nowhere in the world today, nor in time past, can an educational system be found which is charged with greater responsibilities than the American schools. Commager emphasized this idea when he stated that, "no other people ever demanded so much of education as have the American people. None other is served so well by its school and education." (Thayer, 1960). Even though the American schools are considered to have been better than those in most other areas of the world, the alarmingly high percentage of dropouts, as well as the increasing crime rate across our land, has caused educators to pause and consider the shortcomings of our system. Dedicated educators have been willing to pursue detailed studies and lengthy, involved surveys in order to contribute to an understanding of areas of weaknesses in our attempt to educate "all the children of all the people," and to design programs which will be most beneficial both to the masses and to specific groups and individuals in need of special aids to learning.
