Families in the firing line: prosecutions for truancy in Coventry, 1874-1899.
نویسنده
چکیده
This case study of truancy in Coventry puts into a local context a national phenomenon of considerable concern to local authorities in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The records of parents prosecuted for their child's truancy over a twenty-five year period provided the data for analysis. It was possible to produce a profile of the truants and their families within the socio-economic context of a Midlands industrial town with a unique mix of occupational sectors. Parental involvement in local textile, watchmaking and cycle industries certainly affected the propensity of children to truant, but other factors such as housing and neighbourhood seem also to have been important factors as indicators of truancy. Underlying all of these issues was the effect of poverty on parental attitudes to schooling, exemplified most starkly by the experience of lone mothers who figured more prominently in the truancy figures by the 1890s, and by when more parents conformed to school attendance laws.

Background and Aims: The marginal integrity of fixed restorations always is a major matter of concern for dental clinicians. Any cause of distortion, including veneering processes, in the marginal integrity is supposed to be detrimental for long-term success of fixed dental prostheses. The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the marginal adaptation of two different full ceramic restoratio...
متن کاملEffect of firing temperature on the properties of inorganic high temperature phosphate adhesive
High-temperature adhesives are considered for high-temperature applications such as the refractory industry. In this research, inorganic high-temperature phosphate-based adhesive was prepared using alumina and micro silica as the main raw materials and monoaluminum phosphate as a binder. The effect of firing temperature on the properties of the adhesive including phases, microstructure, compres...
متن کاملMeta heuristic for Minimizing Makespan in a Flow-line Manufacturing Cell with Sequence Dependent Family Setup Times
This paper presents a new mathematical model for the problem of scheduling part families and jobs within each part family in a flow line manufacturing cell where the setup times for each family are sequence dependent and it is desired to minimize the maximum completion time of the last job on the last machine (makespan) while processing parts (jobs) in each family together. Gaining an optimal s...
