Abstract

At a time when American education finds itself operating increasingly in urban settings and under urban influences, it is with some trepidation that I venture to assert the main argument of this paper: the greatest obstacle to improvement in education today is the assumption by educators and their establishments of a bias in favor of the very urbanism which they see as an inescapable historical force, and whose challenge is their mission to successfully meet.
