This book considers theory, current practice, and the common school ideal through a historical lens to arrive at practical suggestions for reforming contemporary public education. Despite dramatic, sweeping changes in recent decades, a strong case can be made for guiding the reformation of contemporary public education in the United States on common school ideology of the nineteenth century. The author argues that the common school remains a public institution capable of preparing America's youth to contribute to the community in a positive manner, and that education must be treated at a public good where all children-regardless of social class-have a right to a quality education. The work includes a thorough overview of Horace Mann's writings on K-12 public education that support the common school ideal-concepts that are over 150 years old, yet still highly relevant today. 606 $aEducation$2bicssc 615 7$aEducation 676 $a371.010973 686 $aEDU016000$aEDU034000$2bisacsh 700 $aFife$b Brian L.$01487965 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958475003321 996 $aOld School Still Matters$94357085 997 $aUNINA
