Abstract | Abstract It has been said that ‘the stated goals of education in modern democratic societies remain constant: the development of each person as (a) a worker, (b) a citizen, and (c) an individual’. A case for adding (d) a keeper of the cultural heritage can perhaps be made, and for the United States, at least, the list with this emendation is correct. That these expectations fail to take account of a basic function of education in a modern or post-modern society escapes everyone's notice. This essay asks why (e), the development of each person as a member of a home and family, is not included on the list of goals of American education, what the implications of its exclusion are, and what must be done so that it can be added. In connection with this last question it maintains not simply that (e) should be included on the list but that the scope of its component aims should extend beyond the sphere of home and family. |
