      abstract = {Herbert Kliebard explores an array of efforts to reform  the American curriculum. From revolutionary changes  effected in a tiny one-room frontier schoolhouse in the  late nineteenth century to a modern comprehensive high  school, this accessible volume presents a chronological  account of specific reform efforts -- exposing factors  likely to achieve success as well as the roots of many  failures. Using a historical perspective to illuminate  contemporary problems, this volume examines both the  conceptual defects of various reform theories and the ways  in which theory clashes with classroom reality. Kliebard  argues that educators must examine the entire range of  reform efforts in order to find the telltale patterns and  "fads" that must be replaced with more meaningful  structural changes.},
