Village Schools traces, through three centuries, the development of rural education in the United Kingdom and abroad. Memoirs, contemporary observations and verse are used effectively to enable the reader to look over the shoulders of the pupils, teachers, inspectors or occasional visitors, into a surprising variety of ancient and modern village schools.
...the selected passages are a fun read and provide entertainment with insight. This compilation is not only meant for those pursuing careers as educators but proves to be a valuable and amusing read for those just looking to spend time with a good book.
