Reproduction of Secular Worlds in Sacred Institutions: A Critique of Christian Schools.

Rose, Susan D.; Brouwer, Stephen W.

Issues in Education, v4 n2 p136-50 Fall 1986

Explores the Accelerated Christian Education Curriculum used in a working class, fundamentalist Baptist school in upstate New York. This school blends behaviorism and Calvinism, using rules to regulate students' behavior and cubicle "offices" to isolate students. Speculates on the congruency of this social reproduction approach with present and future needs of the American political economy. Includes 23 endnotes. (MLH)
