Counts examines the underlying principles that have historically guided American schooling, presenting a deep analysis of how educational practices both mirror and shape the national character.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the structure, social composition, and control of the American public school system via a detailed analysis of the boards administering these schools. The author argues that the primary goal of any such board should be the implementation of educational policies that seek to make the coming generation genuinely intelligent about the present complex civilization and its numerous problems. The insights gleaned from this study shed light on the ways that society can further empower boards of education to shape a balanced educational policy and foster a citizenry capable of steering the nation toward a progressive and democratic future.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines American secondary education as a selective system, drawing data from schools in Bridgeport, Mt Vernon, St. Louis, and Seattle between 1919 and 1920. The author, a leading figure from the Progressive Education movement, found that high school education was largely restricted to the children of the well-to-do and native-born. Immigrant and working-class families, particularly the children, faced many challenges and barriers to entry; amongst them poverty, racial discrimination and the pressure to begin working early in life. The author argues that by implementing a more inclusive and diverse system of secondary education, America could better live up to the ideals of democracy and equality of opportunity.
