The Meaning of a School
The Meaning of a School
This chapter reviews rural education literature and traces the rural community–school relationship in the United States. It focuses on two rural communities in Arkansas, Delight and Earle. It describes the complicated and meaningful relationships the two communities share with their rural schools, as well as their racialized histories and school-reform politics. The analysis of Delight and Earle emphasizes the importance and potential of rural schools in a community, a reminder that educational equity should not be restricted by a city's limits.
