Expert warns schools must shed Leave it to Beaver image
Ernest Boyer, former U S commissioner of education, urged principals to adapt to a dramatic shift in family structure and a more complex society. He cited 20 percent of children living with one parent and that many families are headed by working women, urging schools to redefine mission and values. The Carnegie Foundation study aims to document these changes across 15 high schools and beyond, with hopeful plans for public guidance.
