Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of the concept of schooling from prehistoric family structures to the professional institutions of the modern day. The author anchors education in the concept of preparing offspring for the progress of the species, as schooling is fundamentally an effort to equip children to navigate their environment. This book will appeal to those interested in the history of education, teachers, and even parents wanting to better understand the purpose of education. Tracing the origins of teaching back to the domestic sphere, the author provides a unique perspective on the development of schools as we know them. Through examining the function of the school and the interplay of competing forces such as tradition versus innovation, and freedom versus conformity, this book delves into the very essence of what education is and should be. By understanding the ideas presented here, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the role schools play in shaping the future of humankind and our place within it.
