A penetrating book., May 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Practicing Virtues: Moral Traditions at Quaker and Military Boarding Schools (Hardcover)
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.

Curious Juxtapositions, May 25, 2000
This review is from: Practicing Virtues: Moral Traditions at Quaker and Military Boarding Schools (Hardcover)
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. A curious study, but not recommended
