What reading level is The School And Society book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
70 THE SCHOOL AND SOCIETY Children of twelve and thirteen years of age go through gain and loss calculations, and various forms of bank discount so complicated that the bankers long ago dispensed with them. And when it is pointed out that business is not done this way, we hear again of "mental discipline." And yet there are plenty of real connections between the experience of children and business conditions which need to be utilized and illumi- nated. The child should study his commercial arit...hmetic and geography, not as isolated things by themselves, but in their reference to his social environment. The youth needs to become ac- quainted with the bank as a factor in modern life, with what it does, and how it does it; and then relevant arithmetical processes would have some meaning — quite in contradistinction to the time-absorbing and mind-killing examples in per- centage, partial payments, etc., found in all our arithmetics.
The connection with the university, as indi- cated in this chart, I need not dwell upon.
