5.0 out of 5 stars A penetrating book.
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Curious Juxtapositions
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...
