In A Class by Themselves?, Jason Ellis provides a erudite and
balanced history of special needs education, an early twentieth
century educational innovation that continues to polarize school
communities across Canada, the United States, and beyond. Ellis
situates the evolution of this educational innovation in its proper
historical context to explore the rise of intelligence testing, the
decline of child labour and rise of vocational guidance, emerging
trends in mental hygiene and child psychology, and the
implementation of a new progressive curriculum. At the core of this
study are the students. This book is the first to draw deeply on
rich archival sources, including 1000 pupil records of young people
with learning difficulties, who attended public schools between
1918 and 1945. Ellis uses these records to retell individual
stories that illuminate how disability filtered down through the
school system's many nooks and crannies to mark disabled students
as different from (and often inferior to) other school children. A
Class by Themselves? sheds new light on these and other issues by
bringing special education's curious past to bear on its constantly
contested present.
