Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's one thing we all have in common. We've all been to school. But as Zander Sherman shows in this fascinating, often shocking account of institutionalized education, sending your kids off to school was not always normal. In fact, school is a very recent invention. Taking the reader back to 19th-century Prussia, where generals, worried about soldiers' troubling individuality, sought a way to standardize every young man of military age, through to the most controversial debates that swirl around the world about the topic of education today, Sherman tells the often astonishing stories of the men and women-and corporations-that have defined what we have come to think of as both the privilege and the responsibility of being educated. Along the way, we discover that the SAT was invented as an intelligence test designed to allow the state to sterilize "imbeciles," that suicide in the wake of disappointing results in the state university placement exams is the fifth leading cause of death in China, and that commercialized higher education seduces students into debt as cynically as credit card companies do. Provocative, entertaining-and even educational-The Curiosity of School lays bare the forces that shape the institution that shapes all of us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prussian Schools Through American Eyes, 1891: A Report to the New York State Department of Public Instruction This brief account of the Prussian elementary school system was prepared at the request of the Honorable Andrew S. Draper, Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State of New York, and appears in bis thirty -seventh annual report, transmitted to the Legislature January 6, 1891. The following extract from Superintendent Drapers report explains itself: - In 1867 Superintendent Victor M. Rice presented to the Legislature a special and elaborate report, attempting to set forth the educational conditions of all the enlightened nations of the world. The little volume was published by the State, but the edition was so limited that it is now almost unknown. In enabled the educators of the State to compare their own with other educational systems, and it was likewise prolific of suggestions. Us value, however, was impaired by reason of the fact that the information it contained was derived from the reports of foreign educational or other officers. or from encyclopaedias. To make them of the greatest value to us. foreign school systems must he seen through American eyes, and must be described by an intelligent friend of our school system, who is so anxious for its improvement that he is willing to seize upon any thing which will improve it no matter where he may find it. and who yet has the power of discriminating sufficiently to enable him to see not only what is good, but to determine what is practicable and advisable in this country. I have been desirous of presenting to the educators of this State something of this character covering the educational work of the leading nations of Europe, and of presenting it in such form as to make it available to all officers and teachers in the State. When, therefore, Mr. James Russell Parsons, Jr., ol Hoosick Falls, the accomplished school commissioner of the first commissioner district of Rensselaer county from 1885 to 1888. was made United States consul at Aixda Chapelle Germany, it occurred to me that the opportunity was offered for making an excellent, beginning in this direction. The Prussian elementary school system is the oldest, and admitted to be. in many regards, the best in the world. The man who could investigate and describe it more completely than most men in our State was going there to live for a considerable time, and to live under circumstances which would give him special facilities and opportunities fur information He readily acquiesced in my desire that he should undertake the work, and has presented me with a more comprehensive and detailed description of the plan of organization and the operations of the Prussian school system in, in more compact form than any other which is available to American readers. It is herewith transmitted to the Legislature, to the end that it. may appear in the annual report and reach all interested in the educational progress of the State, and in the confident belief that it will enable us to see more clearly the strong points and discern the weak points of our own system. If this undertaking shall seem to be pleasing and helpful, I hope to follow it next year with similar descriptions covering the public educational systems of England and France. I may add that it seems to me altogether the clearest statement that has ever appeared in English of just what, the Prussian schools are doing.
