50402bdWake-Brook House 1976. First Edition Stated. Octavo green leatherette hardcover silver letters 144 pp. Fine in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket with edgewear that includes light chipping. From dust jacket: This is an important book -- and a valuable one. Probably there has never been another book quite like it. It is the history of Florida schools told from a hundred different viewpoints by the people most intimately involved in educational development. Teachers who devoted their lives ot the instruction of youth possess credentials which qualify them to serve as experts on any panel considering school problems or planning school policies. They richly deserve to be listened to and to have their advice taken seriously. In this book however they are not sitting in solemn judgment nor trying to dictate what should be done. They simply report what happened to the schools in which they taught and what happened to the students. But between the lines of thse brief reports there lies a wealth of priceless material which should be thoughtfully considered by everyone interested in our schools. We hasten to add however lest we frighten off any readers who may just wish to be informed or entertained that these reports make delightful reading and are often amusing. Anyone who ever attended school and of course that is all of us can identify with the characters and situations described here. Perhaps those who attendedonly the most modern institutions will react with horror at the idea of walking miles to a rural schoolhouse with outside privies. PErhaps those who received their early education in rural schools will recall those days with nostalgia. But whatever the reaction everyone can read these reports with sympathy and understanding. hardcover books
