| Summary |
Annotation "Summer time is thought of as a time of leisure or work rather than schooling for most students in the United States today. Kenneth M. Gold offers an account of the history of summer education that rejects the pervasive myth that summer vacation is a natural vestige of agrarian America and highlights a historic tension over the presence and absence of summer education in America public schools. School's In unravels the ideologies and politics surrounding the nineteenth-century demise of summer terms and the social concerns and conditions that gave rise to twentieth-century summer schools whose remedial features continue to remain familiar."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
