Respondents have been asked each year in the seven surveys in this series to cite the most important problems of the public schools in their own communities. In six of the seven surveys, including the present one, the problem most frequently mentioned is lack of discipline. Approximately one person in four names discipline as the most important problem. The public's rating of the schools may be influenced by the general loss of confidence in all American institutions, but education and the church still have much higher confidence ratings than the U.S. Congress, the Supreme Court, organized labor, or big business. Educators have cited many reasons for declining national test scores reported in recent years. In interpreting these results, it should be borne in mind the extent to which the results may differ from what would be obtained if the whole population surveyed had been interviewed. The size of such sampling errors depends largely on the number of interviews. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1976 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
