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.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues against the imposition of compulsory education and examines the idea of education itself. It explores the troubles with compulsory education in practice, especially in rural areas, arguing that it is largely ineffective as it fails to address the main issue, which is irregular attendance, and has led to a decline in quality of education. The author contrasts this with the historical record of countries like Prussia with generations of compulsory education laws, that have not produced citizens with significantly higher levels of literacy or compassion than countries without such statutes. The author's main focus is to demonstrate why education should be voluntary, and to shift the focus from mandating attendance to improving the quality of education to encourage students to attend, using examples ranging from ancient Greece to present-day England. The book concludes that improving educational outcomes will require parents to realize the value of education and attend school meetings, as well as merging school boards and teachers associations in order to consolidate efforts to increase parental involvement.
