Schooling’s Body Problem
As they improved pedagogy and teacher training, the reformers who built America’s public school system in the early 1800s also sought to expand the time children spent in school. But there was a problem: physicians insisted that school made people sick. Both children and teachers faced health risks that were poised to worsen. New England educators and physicians teamed up to block and possibly reverse these dangers. The first hygiene textbooks, redesigned chairs and school buildings, and school-based exercise were intended to convert schooling into part of the solution. Drawing on research for her forthcoming book, Rebecca R. Noel traces the fixation on health among common school reformers, with links to school practices and health issues today. Rebecca R. Noel is Professor of History and History Coordinator at Plymouth State University. She holds an M.A. and Ph.D. in American and New England Studies from Boston University and a B.A. in History from Yale University. She teaches history courses on the antebellum and Civil War era, American medicine, childhood, and the American West. She has published articles on the history of school architecture and school health. Her book in progress is Save Our Scholars: The Quest for Health in American Schools. |
