Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

By examining small concrete situations, this work suggests that the creation of public school systems in America was a conservative response to rapid industrialization and that myths about the history of public education have hindered reform by masking weaknesses inherent in its origins.

Reseña del editor:

First published in 1968, this text quickly became essential reading for anyone interested in American education. This new and enhanced version:

-- Assesses the impact of the original publication and explains its continuing significance.

-- Shatters warm and comforting myths about the origins of public education.

-- Shows how some of the most problematic features of public education have their origins in nineteenth century styles of educational reform.
