This article discusses the decentralization and community participation in public education in the U.S. Although the democratic tradition of the U.S. presupposes that citizens will actively participate in political decision-making, political and administrative momentum has often led to increased centralization of power, varying degrees of representation rather than participation, and the alienation of citizens from decisions which affect their lives. Investigations of the effects of participatory decision-making in creating positive changes in the effective and instrumental behavior of the participants consistently demonstrate the importance of actively involving individuals in decisions which affect them. Educational research indicates that when parents of school children are involved in the process of education, their children are likely to achieve better. |
