Abstract

Control of School curriculum has been a dormant issue poked alive in recent years. Since Plato, a stock answer has been that relevant experts should have control. One novel and interesting argument against this is that curriculum decision making is simply not a sufficiently recondite area to warrant helmsmanship by theorists. This argument is presented and attacked. In its place is offered quite a different reason for rejecting control by experts.
