Kurzbeschreibung
This social study explores the traditions in the distinct moral worlds of Quaker and military boarding schools. Both types of schools bind their communities with shared codes of conduct: the military schools' conservative tradition emphasizing discipline and hard work; the Quaker schools' liberal tradition favouring tolerance and togetherness. At the heart of this contrast are two sets of virtues: pride, loyalty and leadership among the cadents; simplicity, equality and concern among the students at Quaker schools. During the course of a year, the author of this work lived in six schools, attending classes and staff meetings, sharing meals and informal conversation, and participating in the non-academic side of boarding-school life. Despite the outward contrast between the Quaker and military settings, Hays found surprising similarities. Both systems cherish individualism while encouraging group identification and service to the school community. The study shows that orderliness, obedience, and harmony do not in themselves create a vital moral environment. To reach that goal, teachers, students and administrators need to disagree, question rules, and fight for change.

A penetrating book.
9. Mai 1999
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
While academic in nature, this book is a facinating comparison between two very different-seeming places. It is well written and very understandable, while still raising very interesting points of view.

Curious Juxtapositions
25. Mai 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
While I know very little about Quaker boarding schools, I have been studying the traditional boys private boarding military school (middle and high school level) in the U.S. for the past ten years. Very few of my findings or conclusions agree with anything I find in this book. I believe the author probably understands Quaker schools far better than military schools. A curious study, but not recommended
