As Others See Us: Schooling and Social Mobility in Scotland and the United States
Keith Hope
Keith Hope argues that the Scottish selective system is more successful in advancing students on the basis of intelligence and merit than is the comprehensive American system. He gives an account of the divergent meanings of the word 'merit' and shows how this difference is rooted in the intellectual traditions of the two countries' bureaucracies.
