Over-Pressure And Elementary Education (1885)

Over-Pressure and Elementary Education is a book written by Sydney Buxton in 1885. The book discusses the issue of over-pressure in elementary education, which refers to the excessive academic pressure placed on young children in their early years of schooling. Buxton argues that this pressure can be harmful to children's health and well-being, and that it can also have negative effects on their academic performance in the long run. The book provides a detailed analysis of the causes and consequences of over-pressure in elementary education, and suggests ways in which it can be addressed. Buxton advocates for a more holistic approach to education that takes into account the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of children, as well as their academic development. The book is based on Buxton's own experiences as an educator and his observations of the education system in England at the time. It is considered to be an important early work in the field of educational psychology and has had a lasting impact on the way educators think about the role of pressure and stress in the learning process. Overall, Over-Pressure and Elementary Education is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of early childhood education. It is recommended for anyone interested in the history of education, the psychology of learning, or the well-being of children.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
