High School

"In High School, Ernest L. Boyer evaluates the performance of the American high school as an institution; he looks at students, teachers, at the principal, the classroom itself, and the curricula. Dr. Boyer discusses the vital role of the high school in preparing students for college as well as for a vocation. The success of secondary education and our nation's future are irrevocably linked, and without a firm commitment to public education, the future of the nation will be jeopardized"--Book jacket.
