The Problem Child in School: Narratives From Case Records of Visiting Teachers

"The Problem Child in School" is a foundational exploration into the fields of educational psychology and social work, offering a detailed examination of the challenges faced by students within the school system. Written by Mary B. Sayles and Howard W. Nudd, this volume presents a series of narratives drawn directly from the case records of visiting teachers-the precursors to modern school social workers and counselors. Through these documented cases, the authors analyze various behavioral and social issues that impede a child's academic and personal development.

The work provides insightful analysis into the environmental and psychological factors contributing to behavioral difficulties, emphasizing the necessity of understanding the intersection between a child's home life and their school environment. By documenting the interventions and strategies employed by early visiting teachers, "The Problem Child in School" highlights the evolving relationship between the family and the classroom. This book remains a significant historical resource for educators, psychologists, and social workers, offering a primary look at the origins of student support services and the early systematic efforts to address the holistic needs of the individual child.
