About this book
In an era marked by rapid industrialization and shifting societal values, "Were You Ever a Child?" by Floyd Dell emerges as a pivotal treatise on educational theory. Dell challenges the rigidity of conventional schooling, advocating for an approach that recognizes the innate curiosity and emotional needs of children. He explores the tension between standardized education and the unalienable rights of youth to learn in a nurturing environment. This thought-provoking work is essential for educators, students, and civic activists seeking to understand the fundamental principles of child-centered education. Dell's insights remain relevant as they prompt readers to reconsider the purpose of education and its impact on future generations.
