Since their inception, public schools had been faced with inert problems. The purpose of this study was to discover what the American public believed were the biggest problems facing public schools from 1990-1999 and what education experts believed could be done to eliminate or lessen the problems. Data to discover what the public believed were the biggest problems facing public schools were derived from the Annual Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Polls of the Public's Attitudes Toward Public Schools (Poll) for that 10-year period. Possible solutions to those problems were examined and discussed based on the latest literature on identified topics.Based on the Poll data the public identified 46 problems facing public schools for this 10-year period. A group of 35 individuals sorted the 46 public school problems into categories they believed were similar with each other and these groupings were factor analyzed to determine coherent problem categories.The results of the factor analysis provided a list 16 problem areas for the 10-year (1990-1999) period as being the most prevalent. Potential solutions to these 16 problems were offered from four different areas: the schools, government, community and individual homes of the students. Some solutions to a particular problem were also mentioned as potential solutions to many of the other problems facing public schools.Suggestions for further study include replicating this study at the local level, analyzing each problem more thoroughly, and conducting further study of the factor analysis. / Department of Educational Leadership

Depuis le début du Premier Empire, la création artistique française est régentée, à quelques exceptions près, par les théâtres de Paris. À l’instar de bon nombre de scènes provinciales, le Grand Théâtre de Lyon est contraint, à défaut de pouvoir proposer des œuvres locales, de composer ses programmations lyriques en fonction des productions de la capitale et de construire son affiche en prenant pour modèles celles de l’Opéra et de l’Opéra Comique. À l’aide des différents témoignages retrouvés dans les textes de presse de l’époque, cette étude s’interroge sur l’identité des programmations du Grand Théâtre de Lyon entre 1815 et 1848. Qu’il s’agisse de la représentation de ce répertoire ou de sa réception, les performances des artistes et les jugements des spectateurs lyonnais sont influencés par les succès de la capitale : les programmations de la Restauration laissent la part belle à l’opéra comique ainsi qu’aux compositeurs de l’Ancien Régime et de l’Empire ; celles de la Monarchie de Juillet se renouvellent avec le grand opéra et s’enrichissent d’ouvrages donnés en version originale et de traductions d’opéras étrangers. Mais, bien que la composition et la réussite des saisons soient largement tributaires de la référence parisienne, il existe une identité des programmations lyonnaises, qui est à chercher dans l’originalité du cadre spécifique que constituent l’économie du Grand Théâtre et les prescriptions de la presse locale. / Since the beginning of the First French Empire, all the French artistic creation but a few is controlled by the Parisian theatres. As numerous provincial establishments, the Grand Theatre of Lyon, instead of proposing some local creations, is forced to compose its lyrical programs from the productions of the capital city and to take the Parisian Opéra and Opéra Comique as models.Through the different testimonies found in the newspapers of the period, this study questions the identity of the Grand Theatre’s programs from 1815 to 1848. Considering the representation of the repertory or its reception, the artists’ performances and the Lyon spectators’ judgments are influenced by the Parisian successes: the programs during the Restoration are dominated by the opéra comique but also by the Old Regime and Empire’s composers; those during the July Monarchy renew themselves with the grand opéra and are enriched by works played in original version and by translations of foreign operas. But, even though the composition and the success of the seasons are dependent on the Parisian references, there is a Lyon programs’ identity, which is to be searched for in the originality of the specific frame that form the Grand Theatre’s economy and the recommendations of the local newspapers.
