Washington, D.C. 20036 David Seeley looks at the structural causes of America's present educational malaise. He finds that our educational system has been caught in a highly un- productive trap because we delegate it to a government agency and allow it to be managed through a bureaucratic chain of command. Political accountability laby- rinthine organization, and profession- alization have all combined to disem- power the key actors-the teachers, the students, the parents, and other com- munity members. Seeley proposes a partnership model in which education is the shared responsibility of families, the students themselves, schools, and other elements of the community. Although schools and school systems would remain, all roles and functions would be redefined to give priority to the interactions and motivations essential to teaching and learning. In three major sections, Education through Partnership criticizes the present delegation model, proposes the partner- ship model, and applies this model to such thorny issues as equal opportunity, community control, vouchers, school size, busing, bilingual education, mini- mum competency testing, sex educa- tion, and censorship. David Seeley, former director of the Public Education Association, currently teaches at the College of Staten Island and serves as an educational consultant. Theodore Sizer, who wrote the foreword to this volume, is the author of Horace's Compromise: The Dilemma of the American High School. ISBN 978-0-8447-3579-5 181114 I|1|| 9 0 000 97808 44 735795111
