The Boy And His School: What It Can And What It Cannot Give Him (1905) Hardback - 2009

The Boy And His School: What It Can And What It Cannot Give Him is a book written by Robert Leighton in 1905. The book is a study of the relationship between a boy and his school, and explores the various ways in which a school can and cannot contribute to a boy's development. Leighton argues that while schools can provide boys with a solid education and teach them important skills and knowledge, they cannot replace the role of parents and family in a child's life. He also emphasizes the importance of character development and moral education, arguing that schools should not only focus on academic achievement, but also on cultivating virtues such as honesty, integrity, and compassion.Throughout the book, Leighton draws on his experience as a teacher and headmaster to provide practical advice for parents and educators on how to create a positive and supportive learning environment for boys. He also discusses the challenges and pitfalls of modern education, including the pressures of exams and the impact of technology on learning.Overall, The Boy And His School is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the role of schools in shaping the lives of young boys, and offers valuable insights for parents, teachers, and anyone interested in education and child development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
