Undermining the Common School Ideal: Intermediate Schools and Ungraded Classes in Boston, 1838-1900.
Overview & Synopsis
Contrasts the rhetoric and implementation of common schools (tax-supported, free public education) in 19th-century Boston with some subsequent educational discrimination. The Boston Public School system established intermediate schools and ungraded classes as a means of instructing illiterate immigrant children. It rapidly became a system of exclusion and stigmatization. (MJP)
