During adolescence there a resurgence of All the old things which never quite got resolved. It a Chance for the child and for the adults involved with him. If adults re Cognize this they can help the adolescent with it he said. Adults can help by providing solid Walls against which adolescents can Bounce their rebel lion. Adults need to know they believe in themselves enough to stand for their own values oth Serwise they cannot be a foil for the adolescent values. They must approach adolescents honestly without playing Little games based on the guilt in our culture.

And where we Are not particularly Remote professionals Are making More decisions about children and people Are becom ing More unhappy with it. Public Confidence in the schools declining at an accelerating he questioned the Quality of teachers in terms of their relationship to the children their their racial Back ground Domina Cly lifestyles their sex female in elementary grades male in High their Middle class backgrounds the uniformity of their instruction and their preoccupation with order and control in their classrooms.
