Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a narrative of the author's poignant experiences as a student in a typical 19th-century rural New England schoolhouse. Painted as a vivid and wry coming-of-age story, this memoir offers a rare glimpse into the educational practices of the era, showcasing the often harsh and monotonous instructional methods that characterized schools of the time. Despite these challenges, the author credits a caring and inspiring teacher for stimulating an early love of learning. This book provides a valuable historical account of the evolution of education, highlighting the stark contrast between traditional rote-learning methods and the more progressive approaches of today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781333623869_0
