Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Problems of Rural Life: Consolidation of Schools, Transportation of Scholars; Good Roads; Traveling Libraries
The common school course of study provides for seven grades, each covering a school year of seven or eight months.
How many parents living in the country send their children to school seven months a year and how many children attend seven years? Many think it quite sufficient to send two or three months each year and are not very insistant upon that much. Unfortunately some are compelled by stress of circumstances to have the help of their children in the work upon the farm and are forced to make the school attend ance short.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book advocates for improving the state of rural education through school consolidation and implementing transportation of students to a central location. The author, a professor of applied mathematics and president of the board of education, presents a compelling case for consolidating several weak, struggling schools into a single vigorous one, with a focus on improving the quality of education in rural areas. Citing examples from Ohio, Massachusetts, and his home state of Georgia, where consolidation has been successfully implemented, the author demonstrates how it can lead to increased attendance, better teacher qualifications, and a broader curriculum. He also addresses concerns about transportation, arguing that it improves student health and safety while increasing access to education for children living in remote areas. This book is a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in improving the quality of education in rural communities. Its insights are particularly relevant in the context of ongoing debates about educational equity and the need for innovative solutions to address the challenges faced by rural schools. 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 # 9781333526269_0
