The voices of teachers are missing from today's celebrated dialogue about schooling in the United States. To help remedy this, HER invited a group of high school teachers to review one of the major works of this dialogue.1 This essay, written by Paula M. Evans, a member of the group,synthesizes their thoughts and reactions to Ernest Boyer's High School. While the review does not pretend to detail every nuance of the discussion about the book, it does reflect the major issues,questions, and criticisms raised in that discussion. A sentence or two on the history and membership of the group may be of interest. In July 1982, the Boston/Newton Local History Collaborative and the Education Collaborative for Greater Boston jointly sponsored a conference, inviting secondary school teachers from the Boston area to explore and design collaborative efforts.2 Several teachers who attended that conference decided to continue meeting as a study group. Over the last year and a half they have met regularly to discuss relevant books and articles, hear speakers, and share perspectives on the dilemmas,challenges, and frustrations of schooling.

Encouragement of humanistic education through the lens of prosocial behavior of adolescents is a complex and extensive issue of the modern world. Prosocial behaviour can indirectly affect the achievement of pupils at school through its connection with some academically relevant forms of behaviour which lead to success at school and work. Also, this connection can be explained by the teacher’s preferences of prosocial pupils, which is reflected in the teacher’s expectations and behaviour towards pupils, as well as the evaluation of their work. Besides, prosocial behaviour can also directly affect pupils since the prosocial interaction of peers can have a positive effect on the intellectual exchanges between pupils, which contributes to a more successful learning process. Taking into consideration the significance and role of the school and teachers, as representatives of the educational process, in encouraging prosocial behaviour in the young at secondary schools, we face a problem: Do secondary school teachers encourage prosocial humanistic behaviour of the young, by what actions and activities are they guided in the process and how does that reflect on the behaviour of pupils? This study tried to give some answers related to this problem in the field of education.
