Annotation Hunt (formerly education, Virginia Tech) considers the search by education reformers for panaceas throughout American history. He presents a number of educational innovations and describes the reasons they were promoted, what conflicts arose because of them, and what resulted from their implementation. Topics include, for example, the role of Bible-reading in the schools in the 1800s, the Life Adjustment movement of the 1940s, and more recent school-to- work programs. Annotation c.
