Using case studies and an auto-ethnographic study of rural education history in New York State, Casey Thomas Jakubowski provides an introduction to recent events in state-level educational policy implementation. Rural Education History: State Policy Meets Local Implementation argues that rural communities are subjected to urbanormative policy, especially in their schools, and provides voice to an understudied phenomena in an under researched region. The chapters combine sociology, policy, and rich case studies to demonstrate the realities, and nearby history, in rural America.

Indifference has not always characterized American attitudes toward rural children, nor has neglect always been the cornerstone of state and federal policy toward rural education. Indeed, for nearly a century there was an avid and influential—though ultimately ineffective—rural school reform movement in the United States. But in recent years, rural education has become a "skeleton in the closet" of the education profession. More than 14 million children attend rural schools that receive only minuscule amounts of the nation s financial resources and professional attention. The authors of this book carefully analyze the beliefs, assumptions, policies, and practices that have shaped and continue to shape education in rural America, concluding that conventional wisdom in rural education has proved to be considerably more conventional than wise. They offer pragmatic suggestions for changes in rural schools, in educational policy, and in programs designed for rural communities. As Robert Coles tells us in his Foreword to the book, they "give us clear, strong, uncluttered prose—a good sign that they are able to offer sensible, honest, unpretentious suggestions and useful ideas. They give us. . .a social history that enables perspective . . . and [they give us] practical, well-argued suggestions for a public policy both humane and capable of realization for our rural areas."

Originally published in 1991, essays discuss and analyse rural schooling in its historical, social, and political contexts as well as its educational mission. Collections covering rural education in the United States are relatively rare, particularly texts that focus on available research literature in context, and many existing texts are written by educators outside of the University. This book covers historical and social factors, rural education in the field, and the future of American Schooling. The chapters comprise not only an airing of issues, concerns, and findings, but also a guide to scholarship in the areas covered. Included is a resource guide to information specific to rural education and rural special education.

This thesis is an attempt to provide a balanced account of the history of the one-room country school experience in the states of the Middle West prior to 1918. It begins with an attempt to discover how the people of Midwest farming neighborhoods viewed the world around them and the place of formal education therein. In particular, the rural traditions of pietism, localism, and pastoralism are examined as major components of agrarian ideology. Each in a significant way suggests that rural people often believed there were limitations to the benefits of common schools. Additionally, the thesis provides a basis for understanding the political economy of Midwest agrarian society. The prerequisites for acquiring title to a farm and maintaining a successful farming operation are discussed in detail, along with the impact of these factors on rural schools and rural school attendance. The thesis argues that in order to make sense of the country school experience one must understand the interplay of agrarian ideology and political economy. Research in six different Midwestern states at state and local archives yielded most of the data for the last three chapters and conclusion of the thesis. The record of learners, teachers, and school board men in the rural Midwest demonstrates that rural resistance to state-level centralization and educational reform was not grounded, as some have claimed, in sentimental allegiance to local democracy. Rather, this resistance was the logical result of agrarian views of the world and the circumstances required to own land, cultivate it, and pass it on to the next generation. Special emphasis is reserved for the rural reception of the educational initiatives of Theodore Roosevelt's Commission on Country Life. Data provided in this thesis demonstrates that the Country Life movement was not a plot to impose an urban model on rural schools, as some historians have suggested. To the contrary, "Country Lifers" were very much interested in preserving rural society in the face of increasing urbanization and immigration through distinctly rural schools.
