Since the 1800s, reforms of the education system have steadily punctuated the decades, rolling even into the present. The authors provide a critical examination of the current education reform based on a S0-state survey. Legislation passed since 1983 and investments in reform in 1988 are specified and examined in the context of current issues in education, with attention to areas in need of further research. Data are also presented on special populations across the 50 states. It is concluded that the dialectic of reform will continue. Future reforms will be cast in response to what the states' emphases are -or are not -today.
