The School and Its Life
Author: Charles Benajah GilbertPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
The aim of school should be to place children in the midst of a natural, sane, and wholesome life, free from all false, ephemeral, and artificial standards and stimuli. How this can be done is one of the aims of this book. Life is one, and a single human life is simple in the midst of its complexity, and no portion can be treated apart from the whole. Hence, school life is to be judged and its office regulated not apart from the wider life, but as a part of it. In directing the life of the school, we need not seek for new bases of conduct, but merely apply to the necessary conditions of the school those universal laws of life and growth, that are known to all men.

America's Public Schools

Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
In this update to his landmark publication, William J. Reese offers a comprehensive examination of the trends, theories, and practices that have shaped America's public schools over the last two centuries. A thoroughly revised epilogue outlines the significant challenges to public school education within the last five years. Reese analyzes the shortcomings of "No Child Left Behind" and the continued disjuncture between actual school performance and the expectations of government officials. He discusses the intrusive role of corporations, economic models for enticing better teacher performance, the continued impact of conservatism, and the growth of home schooling and charter schools. --From the publisher description.
The One Best System
Author: David B. TyackPublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674251091
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
The One Best System presents a major new interpretation of what actually happened in the development of one of America's most influential institutions. At the same time it is a narrative in which the participants themselves speak out: farm children and factory workers, frontier teachers and city superintendents, black parents and elite reformers. And it encompasses both the achievements and the failures of the system: the successful assimilation of immigrants, racism and class bias; the opportunities offered to some, the injustices perpetuated for others. David Tyack has placed his colorful, wide-ranging view of history within a broad new framework drawn from the most recent work in history, sociology, and political science. He looks at the politics and inertia, the ideologies and power struggles that formed the basis of our present educational system. Using a variety of social perspectives and methods of analysis, Tyack illuminates for all readers the change from village to urban ways of thinking and acting over the course of more than one hundred years.
