School and Community: Are They on a Collision Course?

Smith, Howard B.

Rural Educator, v6 n1 p23-24 Fall 1984

The community and the public school system are on a head-on collision course. Community concerns are taxes, poor teaching, and school responsibility for social ills. Educators "know" what is best and perceive challenges as threats to their integrity. The situation intensifies in rural settings. Good communication can alleviate dissonance/mistrust. (CN)
