=Title: Education Reform: The Key to Better People = = Objectives: I would like the students to compare our current school system and the one before the education reform in the 1800s. Also, I would like them to predict how U.S. would function if the education reform never occured. = =** Answer: Before the education reform occured, there were only catholic schools created by Puritans. Mostly rich children received private education. Also, students who attended school, only went there a couple of weeks in the winter. The schools were very poorly equiped and had untrained teachers. After the reform, public schools were created for all students, textbooks were intoduced, the school year was extended up to six months, schools were divided into grades, and colleges for teachers were created. This is very simliar to our current school system. If the education reform never occured, U.S. would not expand, would not have many of its medical, scientific, and engineering achievements, and would not be as signifiacant in world politics. **= =Here are [|link], [|link], and to websites that I found this information on.= =I also found some of this information in our school book.=
