Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intriguing history of public education in Virginia from 1776 to 1860, with a particular focus on secondary schools. It draws on archival documents, including letters, speeches, and legislative records, to explore the evolution of education policy during this period. The author traces the development of various educational initiatives, from Thomas Jefferson's ambitious bill to establish a statewide system of primary and secondary schools to the establishment of the Literary Fund in 1810. Through these initiatives, the book examines the complex and often contentious debates surrounding the role of public education in a democratic society, addressing issues of access, funding, and curriculum. The book further illuminates the challenges and opportunities faced by educators and policymakers as they sought to create a more equitable and effective system of education for all Virginians, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education and the ongoing struggle to provide quality education for all.
