Progressive Retreat : A Sociological Study of Dartington Hall School 1926–1957 and some of its former pupils

Omtale

This book, published in 1977, represents a fresh attempt to apply explicitly sociological methods to Dartington Hall School, which attempted to escape the orthodoxy of state educational provision. Maurice Punch critically scrutinises progressive education's avowed aims to revolutionise the school, to save society from its own destruction, and to produce a renewed type of man and woman.
