3 Traditional Images of Schools
School as a Temple- moral community, MORE to come
School as a Factory- production unit, Does not permit questioning basic authority, Preordained values and goals, Main concern is efficiency, Success is judged by testing outputs
School as a Town Meeting- political arena, Constructivist approach, Goals are diverse, Appeals to morality and efficiency are only part of the process, Success is measured by having and maintaining power: control of available resources
