(The Uses of Schooling, first published in 1988, proposes ...)
The Uses of Schooling, first published in 1988, proposes a radically different approach to the evaluation of education. Professor Broudy shows that the common criteria of school effectiveness – that is the ability to replicate the end-of-course performance on examinations or to apply such results – clearly demonstrates the ‘uselessness’ of much of the investment made in schooling. This is so because, unless constantly reinforced by repetition the ability to replace test performance is rapidly diminished after formal school ends. This study will be of interest to students of education.

Broudy was born on July 27, 1905 in Filipowa, Poland; the son of Michael and Mollie (Wyzanski) Broudy. Herry with his family emigrated from Poland to the United States in 1912 and took up residence in Milford, Massachusetts.
Broudy attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but he left it, because his interests were in literature, philosophy and psychology, not in chemical engineering. Then in 1929, he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in German literature and philosophy from Boston University. Four years later Harry was given a Master of Arts degree and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1936 from Harvard University.
He received honorary doctorate degrees from Oakland University in 1969, Eastern Kentucky State University in 1979 and Massachusetts State College at North Adams in 1981.
Broudy began his career as a reporter for the Milford Daily News in 1929 and held it for three years. Then in 1936, he took a position of a supervisor at the Massachusetts Department of Education. A year later Harry became a professor of philosophy and education at Massachusetts State College at North Adams, where he worked until 1949. In 1949, he held the same position at Framingham State Teachers College.
In addition, in 1957, Broudy was appointed a professor of philosophy of education at the College of Education of the University of Illinois, where he gained a reputation as one of America's leading educational philosophers. He retired from the university in 1974 as a professor emeritus.
He was a distinguished visiting professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland in 1974 and at California State University in 1978. Harry filled several distinguished lectureships including the Bode Lecture in 1960, the Kappa Delta Phi Lecture in 1972, the Damon Lecture in 1976, the De Garmo Lecture in 1979 and the John Dewey Lecture in 1983.
Broudy served as an editor of journal "Educational Form" in 1964-1972 and was the general editor of the University of Illinois Press. Also he was the author of such books as "Building a Philosophy of Education", 1954, "Psychology for General Education", 1956, "Philosophy of Education", 1967, "The Real World of the Public Schools", 1972 and "The Uses of Schooling", 1988.
Herry and his wife, conducted seminars on interdisciplinary thinking and esthetic education in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, Asia and Australia.
Broudy was known for his books, including "Psychology for General Education", "Paradox and Promise", "Democracy and Excellence in American Secondary Education", 1964, "Exemplars of Teaching Method", 1965, "Philosophy of Education" and others.
He is listed in the Biographical Dictionary of American Educators, the Dictionary of American Scholars, Leaders in Education and Who's Who in America. Also in 1983, he received a grant from the Spencer Foundation.

1988Broudy viewed philosophy as a classical discipline concerned with truth, goodness and beauty. But he was also influenced by the modern philosophies, especially existentialism and instrumentalism. In his textbook "Building a Philosophy of Education", he put forth two major ideas central to his philosophical outlook, first, truth is independent of the individual knower and second, there are universal structures to be found in humanity's struggle for education and the good life.
Also he saw education as the common link that united a diverse society and he urged the society to renew its commitment to the schools. Democracy demanded, he believed, a common general education for all, based on the academic disciplines, which required different ways of knowing the world and of verifying that knowledge.
Broudy was a member of the National Academy of Education and served as an advisory board member and senior faculty member of the Getty Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts. He was a president of the Philosophy of Education Society in 1953.
Herry also served on the editorial boards of The Music Educators Journal, Educational Theory and The Journal of Aesthetic Education.
In 1947, Harry Broudy married Dorothy L. Hogarth. They had a son.
