The impact of
Wayside's recognition would be the newfound scrutiny of decisions which
placed those unqualified in the areas of education in positions of power
and determination where education was concerned. Perhaps most troubling
amongst the outcomes of this orientation at America's universities was its
perpetuation of a class system. Those who had been elevated to places of
administrative oversight were typically wealthy elites whose legacy in the
institution or community would have a greater bearing on the position of
power than on their qualifications therefore. By outcome, the goals of
education would often be subverted to the proclivities of class exclusion,
making most of America's higher educational contexts the province of those
already wealthy and imbued with opportunity.
A change in perspective demanding a transition from this period
would, by the middle of the 19th century, actually begin to produce
explicit policy change where some of America's more vaunted universities
would be concerned. For Tappan at Michigan and Ticknor at Harvard, for
instance, this period would be seen as an opportunity for reformation to
the improvement of education and the social parameters shaping it.
Accordingly, the first board of regents at the University of Michigan in
1837 included no clergymen, and for the first fifteen years no more than a
quarter of the board were clergymen . . . At Harvard the charter provision
requiring some clergymen on the corporation was repealed in 1851." (174)
These changes were indicative of the increasing pressure on universities to
function at least somewhat more secularly, and more importantly, with an
emphasis on scholarly aims rather than those constructed of the moral and
religious...
Fullan, et al.'s approach is to employ "greater specificity without suffering the downside of prescription," (9) meaning that curriculum design must teach people how to do something within the proper context and that all details must be included without the complicating and ineffective method of saying that all children must be taught the same subjects in the same manner ("prescription"). The attending result, then, would be that curriculum would be
High School Dual Programs Current social, political, and cultural concerns have hastened the call for high school reform and have intensified an interest in producing high school graduates that are college ready (Kuo, 2010). Competition from up-and-coming economies such as China and India have challenged traditional American economic world dominance and are forcing policy makers to be concerned about making substantive changes in the educational system (Kuo, 2010). However, when positive

educational system in America is facing heavy criticism (Reich, 2010). This criticism centers on the effectiveness of the system and its capacity to educate the nation's children. Critics argue that America's children continue to record poor scores in standardized testing and that graduation rates continue to decline. On one side are those who are arguing that drastic changes are needed while the opposing side argues that the American education
Educational Reform While there are many ideas about how schools should look to reform themselves -- from arming teachers with guns (Koonce, 2016, p. 163) to simply closing failing schools with the hope that charter schools fill the void (Koonce, 2016, p. 137) -- there is really no easy or simple solution to how to reform schools in general. Schools are essentially all unique -- with each one different because each one
Educational Leadership Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihaly, towards the end of the year 1995 composition for Daedalus wrote that with miserable promptness, the American society is coming back to the pains to perk up public school education. These pains more often than not fail for the reason that education is considered barely as schooling. However, developments in schools do not essentially match up to a development in the culture of children. Whether or
