- Title
"A Retrospective Note on Urban 'neighborhood school' Ideology".
- Authors
Allen, Irving Lewis
- Abstract
1966 data from the three largest cities in Connecticut are analyzed to determine the feelings of those surveyed about school business to achieve better racial balance in schools. The findings were that most white parents liked the idea of the neighbourhood school and that its main advantage was convenience. Most visualized the school neighborhood as being a half‐dozen blocks away from their homes. Most parents did not like the idea of busing. They felt that the neighborhood school was an important principle to maintain. And most felt that if the neighbourhood school principle was modified by busing, then parents ought to have the main say.
