Abstract: | As more parents enter the workforce, the historic role of the home in the education and development of children is reduced. This work aims to present a philosophy of education that is responsive to America's changing realities, advocating the removal of the barriers between the school and the home. Drawing selectively from reform movements of the past and relating them to the unique needs of today's parents and children, Jane Martin presents a philosophy of education that is responsive to America's changed and changing realities. As more and more parents enter the workforce, the historic role of the domestic sphere in the education and development of children is drastically reduced. Consequently, Martin advocates removing the barriers between the school and the home. |
