- Summary:
- On the basis of findings from more than ten years of Kettering Foundation research, Mathews reports that America's commitment to public schools is in danger of disappearing. He cautions that no plan for school reform or reorganization should be attempted without looking at its impact on what appears to be a very fragile relationship linking the public and the schools.
