Introduction

Aschool is aneducational institution (and, in the case of in-person learning, thebuilding) designed to providelearning environments for theteaching ofstudents, usually under the direction ofteachers. Most countries have systems of formaleducation, which is sometimescompulsory. In these systems, students progress through a series of schools that can be built and operated by both government and private organizations. The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in theRegional terms section below) but generally includeprimary school for young children andsecondary school for teenagers who have completedprimary education. An institution wherehigher education is taught is commonly called auniversity college oruniversity.

In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and after primary (elementary in the U.S.) and secondary (middle school in the U.S.) education.Kindergarten orpreschool provide some schooling to very young children (typically ages 3–5). University,vocational school,college, orseminary may be available after secondary school. A school may be dedicated to one particular field, such as a school of economics or dance.Alternative schools may provide nontraditional curriculum and methods. (Full article...)

R v Hopley (more commonly known as theEastbourne manslaughter) was an 1860 legal case inEastbourne,Sussex, England. The case concerned the death of 15-year-old Reginald Cancellor (some sources give his name as Chancellor and his age as 13 or 14) at the hands of his teacher, Thomas Hopley. Hopley usedcorporal punishment with the stated intention of overcoming what he perceived as stubbornness on Cancellor's part, but instead beat the boy to death.

An inquest into Cancellor's death began when his brother requested anautopsy. As a result of the inquest Hopley was arrested and charged withmanslaughter. He was found guilty at trial and sentenced to four years in prison, although he insisted that his actions were justifiable and that he was not guilty of any crime. The trial was sensationalised by theVictorian press and incited debate over the use ofcorporal punishment in schools. After Hopley's release and subsequent divorce trial, he largely disappeared from the public record. The case became an importantlegal precedent in the United Kingdom for discussions of corporal punishment in schools and reasonable limits on discipline. (Full article...)
