10、在许多学校成为现实之后，学校发现自己又成为激烈争论的焦点。这次的问题不是哪种孩子应该上什么学校的问题，而是社会应该向学生提供什么样的教育的问题；20世纪 50 年代和 60 年代初，批评和改革恢复了追求优秀学习成绩的培养目标，但现在开始受到了那种更宽松、更自由的学校教育的挑战。 许多来自不同民族和阶层的大学生和某些中学生越来越感到沮丧，他们中的有些人几乎绝望，他们觉得，越战是一场残酷而又没有意义的战争，国内社会也是一个残忍、歧视、高度竞争、没有任何爱心的社会。他们要求改革课程，改进教学方法，更关注人口过剩、污染、国际争端、致命武器、歧视等问题，要求下更大的决心去解决这些问题。改革的压力不仅来自
