The history of education In American Society
Education is described as the social institution whereby the society teaches it members about the skills, knowledge, norms, and the values needed to learn on how to be good, and productive members of the society. In the early American society, education was hardly formal. During the colonial period, the Puritans or currently known as the Massachusetts demanded that it was the responsibilities of the parents to teach their children on how to read. Large towns were required to have elementary schools to help children in learning how to read, write, and learn about religion. The schooling was not required in he colonies and only 10 percent of the colonial children from the wealthiest family went to school. Others became apprentices. To ensure that there was existence of unity after the revolutionary war, textbooks were written using common spelling and pronunciation and to make sure that patriotism and religious beliefs are instilled in students. The textbooks also had some negative stereotypes of the Native Americans and some immigrant groups. In 1800s, free and compulsory education was introduced. Children from all social classes got the opportunity of getting free and formal education. The free education was further aimed at promoting national unity and to educate the immigrants the American values. The free education also emerged due to the industrialization since the industrial economy demanded reading, writing, and math skills as compared to the agricultural economy. The free and compulsory education was introduced to both primary and secondary schools. The number of individuals who joined college was not part of the practice until mid 1900s when few people started to join colleges and most of these people were from the fairly wealthy families. After the end of World War II, there was an increase in the number of people who enrolled for the college education. At present, many people are joining colleges than before even though the attendance of the college is related to the social class.
