Synopsis

Exploring the push and pull of compulsory education

This sharp, historical look analyzes why some places adopted compulsory attendance and others did not, and what that meant for schools, families, and society.

The book surveys debates from Canada to England, weighing authority, parental rights, and the real goals of schooling. It combines public opinion, official reports, and practical challenges to show why simply mandating attendance seldom works without engaging parents and communities.
  • See how attendance rules evolved in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and beyond
  • Learn the arguments for and against compulsory education and what each side fears
  • Understand how attendance data and school quality influence policy choices
  • Discover practical ideas for involving parents and trustees in education
Ideal for readers of education history and public policy, this edition sheds light on the struggle to make schools matter in everyday life.
