3. Sec 1 overview Development and Structure of Education Although schools in America today have evolved from the factory-model system of education prevalent in the early 1900s, they are still based on specialization, rules and procedures, and impersonality. Proponents of the bureaucratic system claim that it is efficient and enables specialization among professional educators. Critics argue that this system is inappropriate and cannot adequately respond to the needs of all children. Various movements have sought to reform education. The humanistic movement in education, beginning in the 1960s, focused on creating a more democratic, student-focused learning environment. In the 1990s, the "back-to-basics" movement pushed for a return to a traditional curriculum and more bureaucratic methods. Other debates have arisen over voucher systems, charter schools, magnet schools, and for-profit schools.
