In February, 1913, I chanced to read three articles on the American high school which at once impressed me with their social insight. I asked their author, Principal William D. Lewis, of theW illiam Penn High School, Philadelphia, to call on me. His enthusiastic vision of the immense possibilities for real democratic service to be performed by the public high schools of the country led me to say inT he Outlook: Every man and woman interested in boys and girls and what man or woman is not? ought to read what Principal Lewis himself says; for no brief sketch of mine will do even the remotest justice to the way in which he grips and expounds the vital need of our high school and college education the need that it shall relate to life, and shall offer to each divergent soul the chance that soul needs to train itself, along its own lines, for useful citizenship, domestic and public, in this great seething, straining democracy of ours. I am glad that in the present volume Mr.

�valuation du vendeur 5 sur 5 �toiles

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a novel and relevant critique of the contemporary American high school system. It argues that this system fails to serve the needs of society as a whole. The author backs up this claim by providing data showing that an alarming number of pupils drop out of school because they find no meaning or opportunity within the confines of a curriculum consisting almost exclusively of academic content. The book further proposes that the narrow academic focus has not only failed to prepare pupils for the world of work, but has also failed to provide a well-rounded education, leading to a decrease in civic consciousness and social awareness amongst young people. As a solution, the author offers an alternative vision of the high school as a place where all students can learn and grow, regardless of their academic abilities or future aspirations. Ultimately, this book is a call for educational reform, urging schools to embrace diversity and to provide a more socially relevant and engaging experience for all students. 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. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330242681_0
