- Summary:
-
Public schools can, and should, do a lot to solve the current, controversial ethnocentrism problem. Teachers must receive adequate training and competent in-service help so that they may provide multicultural education and face their own prejudices. Responsibility for students' behavior and education should be shared by the homes and the community. The core curriculum must be pluralized if educators are to teach each child in the existing school population. Sometimes students can fight prejudice in the school environment with a few well-chosen words. Parental support can be a great help in securing harmony in the public schools and thus promoting tolerance, respect, and a sound education for all children. A thoughtful multicultural curriculum is a good weapon against ethnocentrism, which should have no place in schools of America where "liberty and justice for all" is pledged. (Contains eight references. A list of 17 implications is attached.) (RS)
