Sumario:The article discusses how cooperative evaluation based upon questions and values oriented to American ideals would make teaching a profession and bring a higher quality of education to the children and youth in the U.S. Anyone reading current dailies and periodicals is not quite sure whether or not the schools are recipients of a process of thoughtful evaluation or are being used as scapegoats by a confused and angry people who are also fearful and dismayed. The best response for educators may be to seek to ask the right questions about the quality of experience children have in the schools. A social experiment by was conducted by a school dedicated to the task of arranging learning conditions so that all boys and girls may make genuine progress toward achieving their potentials and thus live with greater happiness and contribute more constructively to society. If the evaluative process is to improve the quality of education in our schools, all the information that we have about the ways in which attitudes and beliefs are changed must be applied.
