He followed the political practices and episodes of the amalgamation in relation to their political and educational significance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe amalgamation seemed to result in an ineffective and underperforming school and he tried to introduce practical and constructive changes. His narrative describes his political struggle to reform the school in the face of an anti-democratic and authoritarian culture. The causes of failure are analyzed, and the real, complex, and messy functioning of a school system uncovered. The need to understand the politics and culture of schooling is advocated. A model of micropolitical action and responsibility is demonstrated that could help result in improvement of educational institutions.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePETER B.
