Drawing on a rich array of archival and autobiographical sources, it captures in vivid detail the individual moments that made up the minutiae of classroom life. It focuses on elementary education in interwar London, arguing that schools were grounded in their local communities as lynchpins of social life and drivers of change. Exploring crucial questions around identity and belonging, poverty and aspiration, class and culture, behaviour and citizenship, it provides vital context for twenty-first century debates about education and society, showing how the same concerns were framed a century ago."-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Hester Barron is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Sussex Print version record Subject Education, Elementary -- Great Britain -- History -- 20th century Education, Elementary -- Social aspects -- England -- London Educational sociology -- England -- London -- History -- 20th century Education, Elementary -- Aims and objectives -- England -- London -- History -- 20th century Community and school -- England -- London -- History -- 20th century Community and school Education, Elementary Education, Elementary -- Aims and objectives Education, Elementary -- Social aspects Educational sociology Social conditions SUBJECT London (England) -- Social conditions -- 20th century Subject England -- London Great Britain Genre/Form History Form Electronic book ISBN 9781526150769 152615076X 9781526150745 1526150743
