Education advice hailed by Reagan
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan hailed a $120,000 study prescribing parental involvement, discipline and homework as keys to better education yesterday as proof that government interference is not needed for good schools.
Standing before an audience of educators at the White House, Reagan used the report to promote a back-to-basic education agenda he has touted as an alternative to more years of active federal involvement in the classroom.
"Some of the research findings aren't really very surprising," he said. "That's because sound educational practice is based upon something Americans know a lot about: plain, old-fashioned common sense."
The report, saying that education begins at home, was presented by Education Secretary William Bennett, who said its common-sense recommendations answered "dopininess that we saw in education theory and practice in the '60s and '70s."
The National Education Association, the nation's largest teachers' union, which has battled the administration over federal education spending cuts, chided the Education Department for rehashing readily available information.
However, another union, the American Federation of Teachers, commended the report and said schools made a mistake in the 1960s and 1970s by discouraging parental involvement in homework.
Bennett acknowledged that the findings were neither revolutionary nor comprehensive, but expressed hope that parents and educators would use the report as a handbook to improve instruction at the local level.
