| Abstract | Criticisms leveled at the American education system are examined in this paper, which asserts that misinformation about Japanese education should not be used as a basis for educational reform in the United States. Commonly reported changes made against the American public school system are explored; they include lowered student intelligence, decreased standardized test scores and academic achievement, overly expensive schools, the lack of a relationship between educational funding and school productivity, and declining mathematics and science competition in the world market. A historical overview indicates that business and the elite citizenry have waged a campaign of disinformation that identifies the American school system as a failure. Another conclusion is that many reform efforts will create greater economic and educational disparity. Five alternative national education goals are outlined: school radiness for all (including the provision of preschool programs and adequate day and health care); equal access to operational facilities; the creation of politically and socially involved graduates; the highest paid teachers in the world; and equalized school funding. A total of 17 figures are included. (41 references) (LMI) |
