This book examines the development and current state of American secondary (high) education, emphasizing the tension between its dual purpose of college preparation (often selective) and general education for citizenship and work. The author, a British educational expert, argues that the latter role has been neglected in recent years and suggests a solution: separate the curriculum into a four-year sequence. The first two years would consist of a general education for all students, including essential subjects like English, math, science, and history. The final two years would offer specialized programs preparing students for college or immediate careers. This would counter the trend towards "electives" and "soft" classes and better prepare young people for the rigors of today's economy and society.
