Is your public school too large and distant (both physically and socially) for you and your children, too impersonal (take a number, please), and too bureaucratic (with layers and layers of officials)?Though oneroom and small schools are sometimes seen through rosecolored glasses, they made parents and students feel more welcomed, more interactive, more intimate with each other and the school's programs, andeven today where they still exist in the United States (the mid and farWest)more academically superior.Today, with electronic advancements availablecomputers, videos, distance libraries and learning for researchthere is no reason to crowd students like a herd of cattle into schools and classrooms. Research has proven that a smaller economy of scale is not more expensive. Some have recently started talking about scaling down the size of schools (not those, of course, with a vested interest in the large school "plant"), but it has been mostly talk. When will the real community school return?This volume has three focuses: 1) The nostalgic remembrances of an early Maryland oneroom school by those who attended and taught there (with interesting data and oldtimey pictures), 2) a brief, succinct, and eyeopening history of small schools in America, and 3) easytoread research briefs that support returning to smaller, localcommunity schools today.
