| One of the first public schools |
America created public schools in order to train their citizens to be better knowledged. They wanted children to be better trained for the work force earlier.they believed that it would lead to greater financial security and a more stable democratic nation.
The first schools had flaws. They were extremely strict with the students and that lead to a rise in truancy.
It made a difference in not only the children's lives, but the parents also. Having the kids in school every day served as child care so that the parents could work. It also took the kids or of sweat shops. They learned a lot of important information that they wouldn't have known before.
They perpetuated inequality by not allowing African American students inside their classrooms.
Some other issues were that they lacked the funds for them.
