Abstract:

Research materials (bulk 1979-1981) for Mary Metz's book, Different by Design, documenting the Milwaukee Public School District's implementation of magnet schools and their effectiveness in the school district's attempts to desegregate in the 1970s and 1980s. The research papers consist of interviews with students, parents, and staff; classroom observations and statistical data on education in which she addresses racial attitudes, open education, individually guided education, and relationships among students, parents, and staff. Also included are two cassette recordings documenting conversations with students, parents, and staff at two of the magnet schools.
