 Chapter 4: Challenges to Implementing Systemic Reform
While reforms in the three states were influenced by, and in turn influenced, the larger national movement, the impetus for reform and the reform strategies undertaken in these states reflect their different economic and political contexts.
Three major contextual factors help to explain the scope, substance and direction of the reform activities and challenges that reformers face in California, Michigan and Vermont: (1) national and professional trends in education reform; (2) the economic and political context of the state; and (3) the demographic and fiscal context of the state.
Although the impetus for reform differed, the overall goal of reform was similar for all three states: to identify and establish more challenging academic standards for all students and to develop education policies that were aligned with and supported these standards.

 On The Socialist Revolution In Vietnam Volume 1
Besides there was the backward movement waged by a number of peasants headed by the malcontents among the bourgeois and landlords: Cao Dai, the movement of reform and co-operation linked with the traitors and capitulants among the bourgeois, landlords, intellectuals and speculators: the Constitutionalist Party.
However, lacking a social force backed by a bourgeois economic basis, this national revolution of a bourgeois character led by the petty bourgeois intellectuals, was made under the impulse of a short-lived mettle and audacity inherent in the petty-bourgeois class, and ended in an abortive insurrection to seek compromise with imperialism.
The victorious August Revolution ushered in a new era in Vietnam’s history, because it was not only a revolution for national liberation but a revolution to emancipate the people and take them to a new road, the road of modern history of mankind.

 The Progressive Impulse
In the spirit of the Founding Fathers whose nationalism they so admired, progressive reformers, despite their differences, thought of themselves as the architects of a stable social order based on many of the principles that had guided their Federalist ancestors.

Educated, articulate, and eager to apply their ideas for reforming society and politics, they held no monopoly on political gentility and could be found in equal numbers in the reform wings of both Republican and the Democratic parties.
