  • Data were collected during 1977 and 1978.
  • Survey responses were tabulated and analyzed alongside historical conflict patterns.

    • Main Results:

    • The most significant area of conflict identified concerned the responsibility for educating children from the "new American underclass."
    • Teacher responses indicated strong dissension regarding accountability for this student demographic.
    • Analysis revealed a persistent pattern of disagreement on this critical issue.

    Conclusions:

    • School-community conflict is likely to continue, especially concerning the education of underclass children.
    • A lack of clear public consensus on responsibility for these students is a key factor.
    • Addressing this ambiguity in public perception is crucial for mitigating future conflicts.
