..please, can we have this man as the Minister for Education, and can we have him now. --Jonathan Smith, author of The Following Game

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a fascinating account of public school culture and conditions in the early 20th-century UK. The author, a schoolteacher for many years, writes about the trials and tribulations of the education system and the importance of intellectual development. The author gives an overview of the main issues faced by teachers in public schools at the time, including a lack of respect for the profession and the challenges of discipline and teaching. The author argues that maintaining discipline is essential for effective teaching and discusses the qualities that command obedience from students. The author also examines the inadequacy of intellectual standards and the need for a more stimulating educational environment. The author believes that intellectual life is not adequately valued in society and proposes that this should be addressed through the public school system. The author argues that intellectual stimulation can help boys develop beyond the narrow focus on success and physical strength that is often prevalent. By fostering intellectual growth, the author believes that public schools could play a vital role in shaping future generations and addressing the country's intellectual decline. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331279174_0
