Continuation Education and Parental Antagonism in West Ham, 1920-1.

O'Flynn, Kim

History of Education: The Journal of the History of Education Society, v27 n2 p159-69 Jun 1998

Investigates the social and cultural background behind the rejection of compulsory day continuation education in West Ham in East London (England). Stresses the logic and realism behind the parental objections that were generally rooted in the universal facts of working-class life, not from ignorance or the fettering effects of poverty. (CMK)
