Agroup of provocative and romantic critics (e.g. Illich, 1971; Goodman, 1969; and Reimer, 19,71) have proposed the radical reform, or even total abolition of our school systems. These proposals have excited interest in the press, in journals such as the New York Review, and in some academic quarters. But the proposals have not had noticeable impact on the educational R & D community. Despite the petulence underlying these writings, their authors are addressing a basic problem of all education: the articulation between childhood and adulthood. That is, the child is largely ignorant and undeveloped: how can educators and the education system help him move into productive adulthood? If the educational system is inadequate for the task, we will have, by definition, unhappy adults and an unhappy, unstable society. But the romantic critics are not the only writers who sense that modern learning and socialization systems provide poor articulation between childhood and adulthood. A growing number of historians and sociologists have been concerned with these issues, and have reached conclusions that tend in the same direction as those of the popular critics. This paper surveys these writings, suggests their interrelationships, and presents implications for research
