Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Schools and the War The following pages represent an endeavor to study the effects of the war upon schools in other countries and especi ally in the United States. The first four chapters deal with some specific problems of the public schools in connection with the war and were written when the great world con ict was still going on. They show the revolutionary changes which the public schools have made in adjusting themselves to the needs of the war, and suggest the unmistakable tendencies of our educational reconstruction which is yet to come. The last two chapters were written whentthe great war had just come to an end. In them the author has tried to show, in the light of the experience of many school systems in this country, how American public education can be reorganized in order to meet the needs of the coming new world order. It is the author's hope that they may be of some value to the general discussion of educational reform. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Administration and Educational Work of American Juvenile Reform Schools The aim, then, of the present study, will be to describe as fully as circumstances permit the educational ideals, methods, and results of these institutions with a view to their more popular comprehension and use. The history of the evolution of the schools and also their development in foreign countries will be touched on only so far as these may prove to be helpful in realizing the above aim. Apart from the reports of the schools themselves and some material contained in reports of various state boards, it is interesting to observe that the great amount of writing on the general subject of juvenile reformato-ries is in the form of material for propaganda. From the beginning of the move ment in the closing years of the 18th century keen - sighted and philanthropic men and women have seen the need and possibilities of educational institutions of this type. In their speculations these people have often anticipated the main lines along which the schools have finally developed. Convinced of the rightness and feasibility of their cause, they have ad dressed themselves to converting the reluctant public to their point of view; and the result has been the amassing of books, articles, and proceedings, all designed to heighten interest in the subject but giving, unfortunately, little concrete material upon which the student may rely for actual record of achieve ments. The movement has been in the nature of a great mis sionary enterprise, always looking forward, and taking little account of ground actually covered. But at the present time much more is being done in the way of quantitative record of practice and results, and we may confidently expect these institutions and the educators working in them soon to pro duce many definite studies of educational value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To Ruin Is Not to Reform Public schools are not the only institutions held up, in keen sun-light of publicity. They share this fate in common with public affairs and public men in general. But the blows which public opinion aims at public institutions are intended rather to test the strength and quality of their metal, by its ring, than to rum and destroy them.

Download or read book Summer Work in Public Schools Classic Reprint written by Charles W. Odell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Summer Work in Public Schools Former lengths of school years. During the earlier part of the nineteenth century, and even later, it was not unusual for rural and small - town children, especially girls and small boys, to attend school during a considerable part of the summer rather than during the severe winter weather. Probably the chief cause was that because of the lack of good roads and the distances that must be travelled to reach the schools, it was difficult to attend school during the winter. However, as roads were improved and as cities and towns became more numerous, the practice Of having summer terms became less common until it has become the almost universal practice for the longest vacation period of the year to come during the summer months, or perhaps to include all of them. In the larger cities Of the country conditions were different. Many, probably most, of them formerly had school years much longer than is the custom now, with Short vacations including only a small part of the summer. For example, the Commissioner of Education1 has re ported data on lengths of school years about 1841-42. Some of the lengths are reported in days, some in weeks, and some in months. Boston is stated to have had a session of 224 days, Washington of 238, Philadelphia Of and Detroit of 253. That of Cleveland was forty - three weeks in length, that of Chicago forty-eight, and that of. New York forty-nine. Brooklyn, Baltimore, and Cincinnati had eleven-month sessions, whereas Buffalo had one of twelve months. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The School Reform Landscape written by Christopher Tienken and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The School Reform Landscape: Fear, Mythologies, and Lies, the authors take an in-depth and controversial look at school reform since the launch of Sputnik. They scrutinize school reform events, proposals, and policies from the last 60 years through the lens of critical social theory and examine the ongoing tensions between the need to keep a vibrant unitary system of public education and the ongoing assault by corporate and elite interests in creating a dual system. Some of events, proposals, and policies critiqued include the Sputnik myth, A Nation At Risk, No Child Left Behind, the lies of the Common Core State Standards Initiative, and other common reform schemes. The authors provide an evidence-based contrarian view of the free-market reform ideas and pierce the veil of the new reform policies to find that they are built not upon empirical evidence, but instead rest solidly on foundations of myth, fear, and lies. Ideas for a new set of reform policies, based on empirical evidence and supportive of a unitary, democratic system of education are presented.

Download or read book Tinkering toward Utopia written by David B. TYACK and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over a century, Americans have translated their cultural anxieties and hopes into dramatic demands for educational reform. Although policy talk has sounded a millennial tone, the actual reforms have been gradual and incremental. Tinkering toward Utopia documents the dynamic tension between Americans' faith in education as a panacea and the moderate pace of change in educational practices. In this book, David Tyack and Larry Cuban explore some basic questions about the nature of educational reform. Why have Americans come to believe that schooling has regressed? Have educational reforms occurred in cycles, and if so, why? Why has it been so difficult to change the basic institutional patterns of schooling? What actually happened when reformers tried to reinvent schooling? Tyack and Cuban argue that the ahistorical nature of most current reform proposals magnifies defects and understates the difficulty of changing the system. Policy talk has alternated between lamentation and overconfidence. The authors suggest that reformers today need to focus on ways to help teachers improve instruction from the inside out instead of decreeing change by remote control, and that reformers must also keep in mind the democratic purposes that guide public education.
