The twin rationales for this study are: (1) that the |
|
educational implications of metropolitan conditions |
|
deserve further study; and (2) that these implications |
|
transcend national boundaries. The study focuses on two |
|
facets of metropolitan school systems located in four |
|
metropolises: the characteristics of teachers and the |
|
patterns of perceived success of the respective school |
|
systems. In an attempt to use some sub-national unit, |
|
this study considers selected elements of the educational |
|
systems of Amsterdam, London, Paris, and New York City. |
|
It is hypothesized that in both respects, the four cities |
|
not only differ from the norms of their respective |
|
national settings but they differ in the same direction |
|
from nation to nation. It is predicted that both |
|
metropolitan teachers and what is termed the perceived |
|
success of their school systems are marked by features |
|
peculiar to the metropolitan setting: its heterogeneity, |
|
mobility, concentration of expertise, and so on. The |
|
purpose of this study is, however, not limited to |
|
identifying similarities and differences within and |
|
across countries. Explanations of findings are suggested, |
|
by considering why certain differences between |
|
metropolitan and national norms are less marked in some |
|
countries than in others, and why the differences are |
|
sometimes in unexpected directions, or inconsistent. |
