Sage plan favors common schooling over fads in Atlanta
Dr Leonard P Ayers of the Sage foundation reports after studying eighty or more American city school systems that vocational training should not overshadow academics. He warns against one size fits all tracking and argues for a universal system preparing children for any calling. His findings, reviewed by The New York Times, stress democracy in education and caution against snobbery or local bias. The Atlanta schools are cited as basing policy on sensible democratic principles, with Sage experts completing an exhaustive survey at the chamber of commerce's request. The full report is nearly ready for public publication and will be watched closely.
