Horace Mann has been labeled by historians as the "father of the
public schools." Just as judges and historians consult the views of
the nation's Founding Fathers for guidance on contemporary issues,
current educators can benefit by revisiting the original vision of
Horace Mann for publicly supported schools. Such a study will not
only be of interest to anyone interested in our schools, but it
will also offer guidance as we consider our current educational
issues. Much has changed since Horace Mann led the struggle to
establish the common or public schools in the mid-19th century.
Drastic changes in demographics, the emergence of teacher unions,
and more recently, the standards movement, high-stakes testing, and
accountability have greatly affected public schools. These factors,
along with the additional powers taken on by the state and federal
government have altered how schools function. The result has been
the creation of a system that currently fails to offer an equal
educational opportunity to all of our students. This book looks to
the educational ideas of Horace Mann to offer guidance as to how
this nation might preserve his original vision of a public school
system that will offer a free and equal educational opportunity to
all the children of this nation.
