History of Public Education in the U.S.

Abstract
Public education in America in large part was the product of
historical movements that swept the nation, including national
incorporation, widespread urbanization, and modern industrial -
ization. Public education began during the 17th century w hen
the Massachusetts Bay Colony instituted compulsory education
laws. The 19th century saw the establishment of specialized
schools for the mentally and physically handicapped, the expan-
sion of compulsory education laws, and the establishment of
freemen's schools. As the country became increasingly industri -
alized, child labor laws were coupled with further compulsory
education laws, and new educational theories were developed.
During the 20th century, a number of court cases and legisla-
tive initiatives brought about the end of segregation, prohibited
prayer in public schools, and improved educational
opportunities
for disabled and disadvantaged students.
Overview
Public education in America has a history dating back nearly to
the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in 1620. Although
the first public school appeared well before both the Constitu-
tion and the Declaration of Independence, the small,
independent
public schools of centuries past bear little if any resemblance
to the system of universal public education now in place in the
United States. The factors which led to the inception, growth,
and
development of public education in America are numerous, and
they include not only the pursuit of learning, but also, perhaps
more importantly, the development of the nation's philosophy of
who should teach and who should be taught.
Public education in America in large part was the product of
historical movements that swept the nation, including national
incorporation, widespread urbanization, and modern industrial-
ization. In order to glean an accurate understanding of the
history
of America's educational system, each of these eras in our coun-
try's history must be studied in turn.
While these factors constitute a timeline in American
educational
history, they cannot be fully understood apart from a concurrent
examination of the development of educational philosophy, the
changing understanding of the purpose and aim of public educa-

tion, and both the impetus for and impact of legislative
decisions
and judicial rulings affecting public education.
Therefore, a comprehensive portrayal of the myriad factors that
constitute the development of American education requires an
examination of 1) the philosophical roots of early-American
education, 2) the growth and development of 19th Century
public schooling within the newly-formed nation, 3) the impact
of urbanization and the industrial revolution on the evolution of
public school attendance in the latter half of the 19th Century
and early 20th Century, and 4) the increased involvement of
gov-
ernment in public education.
Further Insights
Colonial Era
Education in Puritan New England
The first public school in America was established in 1635 in
Boston, Massachusetts, in the home of Philemon Pormont.
Atten-
dance at the school was free and open to all children. Founded
by New England Puritans, the school, called the Boston Latin
School utilized religious instruction in the Bible as a launching
pad for the study of Latin and Greek classics. It is important
to note that, during the colonial era, religion formed the basis
for American life, and the local church or meetinghouse was the
focal point of each community. To many people, the primary
purpose of learning to read was to gain the ability to obtain reli -
gious instruction from the Bible.
The year following the opening of the Boston Latin School
witnessed the establishment of America's first college, Harvard
College, whose founding purpose was to train preachers. Hence,
for those fortunate to attend, the college would be an extension
of the religious instruction received in local schools.
In addition to local schools, during this period Dame Schools
were popular. These schools were for young children ranging in
age from 6-8, although often younger. Taught by women, often
widows, Dame Schools usually met in the instructors' homes
and
focused on teaching reading skills rather than on mathematics
and writing. Although titled a "school," it was not uncommon
for Dame Schools also to function as early day care facilities
for
colonial children.
Apprenticeship programs were also primary sources of spe-
cialized education in colonial America, particularly among the
poor. Through apprenticeships, young boys, and by the mid-
17th
Century girls as well, were paired with a skilled tradesman. The
apprentice would spend several years working at his mentor's
side, and upon completion of the apprenticeship, it was
expected
that the student would possess the requisite knowledge and abil -
ity to begin working on his own. Beyond teaching only the
trade,
however, mentors, or "Masters" were also expected to train their
apprentices in matters of good moral behavior (Barger, 2004).
In these early American schools, a very common method of
instruction was the hornbook. Dating as far back as fifteenth-
century Europe, the hornbook was a small wooden paddle on
which was mounted a sheet containing lessons. A piece of horn
from oxen or sheep and later from materials such as leather or
metal, covered the sheet to protect the lesson. Oftentimes, a
hole would be placed in the horn handle, and this enabled pupils
to fasten these early textbooks to their clothing or carry them
around their necks. Standard studies contained on hornbooks
included the alphabet, formations of vowels and consonants, and
the Lord's Prayer.
In colonial America, education was deemed the responsibili ty
of the family. Parents were ultimately responsible for the rear -
ing and training of their children, and there was an absence of
reliance upon government institutions or entities to provide
qual-
ity education for the young. Nevertheless, in this early colonial
world, one can identify the roots of today's compulsory educa-
tion laws.
As early as 1642, Massachusetts passed a law that required that
children be instructed in religious education as well as in the
laws of the colony. Yet, the expressed onus for doing so fell
not to the state or local communities, but rather to parents and
apprenticeship masters. Negligence in either of these areas was
punishable by fine. Furthermore, the law stated that parents and
masters must "catechize" their children in the principles of reli-
gion, or if they were unable to do so themselves, that they must
provide for it. The 1642 legislation also stipulated that if par -
ents or masters failed to perform the duties outlined in the law,
local authorities could remove the children and place them with
masters who would properly instruct them. Although the Massa-
chusetts Law of 1642 stopped well short of establishing a
formal
school system, its importance as the first piece of legislation to
require schooling cannot be underestimated.
Soon after, the Massachusetts Law of 1647 required that every
town comprised of 50 families or more hire a teacher for the
purpose of instructing the town's children in reading and writ-
ing. Moreover, towns of 100 families or more were also
required
to have a Latin instructor in order to prepare students for entry
into Harvard College. Although schooling was still considered
a local family responsibility, at times the colonial government
would fund payment for these teachers.
Education in the Middle & Southern Colonies
Education in the Middle Colonies differed slightly from that in
New England. While schools in New England were primarily
Puritan, schools in the Middle colonies were often developed
by Mennonites or Quakers. It was German immigrant, teacher,
and Mennonite Christopher Dock who, in 1710, penned the first
book on pedagogy printed in America. Dock's work, Schul-Ord-
nung, or School Management, outlined a series of rewards and
punishments aimed not at teacher dominance but at gaining stu-
dent trust and affection (Sass & Ruth).

History of Public Education in the U.S.
In the middle colonies, although the primary focus remained
reli-
gious instruction for the formation of moral character, schools
also incorporated a level of practical instruction as well. Among
those involved in the development of middle-colony schools
was
Benjamin Franklin who helped to establish the Academy of
Phil-
adelphia in 1751. This Academy later grew into the University
of
Pennsylvania (Penn in the eighteenth century).
In the southern colonies, too, public education was taking root.
Even before the establishment of Roxbury and Harvard, Virgin-
ian Benjamin Syms passed away and bequeathed in his will a
plot of 200 acres with clear instructions that it was to be used
for
the establishment of a free school. Another Virginia school soon
followed, and by the close of the seventeenth century, public
schools could be found in northern, middle, and southern colo-
nies (Tyler, 1897).
Early National Legislation
As government took an increased interest in requiring and pro-
viding for the education of children, public schools continued to
multiply. As the pivotal events leading up to the unification of
the
colonies into a nation occurred in the latter portion of the 18th
Century, America witnessed additional landmark educational
milestones. The two most significant of these were the Land
Ordi-
nance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787.
Specifically
applicable to the Western Territories, the Land Ordinance of
1785
allotted land in each western township for the establishment of
a
public school. Two years later, the Northwest Ordinance of
1787
provided that since religion, morality, and knowledge were pre-
requisite to good government, schools should be "encouraged."
Thus, by the time the Constitution became the law of the land,
and before even the Bill of Rights had gained ratification, uni-
versal public education in America was well on the road to
establishment.
Education in the New Nation
Specialized Schools
While public schooling was becoming more widespread, the
implementation of government-mandated universal public
education still lay well in the future. Nevertheless, significant
developments in the 19th Century established a philosophical
foundation and showed a practical application for compulsory
education. Most significant of these was the establishment of
specialized schools for the blind and deaf. The early half of the
19th Century saw the establishment of three such schools:
• The Connecticut Asylum at Hartford for the instruction
of Deaf and Dumb Persons, founded in 1817 and the first
permanent school for the deaf in America;
• The New England Asylum for the Blind, which became
the
nation's first school of its type when it opened in 1829;
• The New York State Asylum for Idiots, founded in 1851
and authorized by the New York State Legislature.
Such institutions segregated certain members of society for
their
schooling and led the way for the enactment of compulsory leg-
islation, and many colonies pursued such legislation as a means
of gaining statehood and, consequently, uniting with fellow-
states to form a nation (Baker, 2004, p. 33).
Compulsory Education Legislation & the National
Teacher Association
In 1852, Massachusetts enacted the first compulsory education
legislation in the nation. The act required that children ages 8
through 14 attend school for a minimum of three months out of
the year, and of those three months, six weeks were required to
be consecutive. Violation of this act was punishable by fine.
Nev-
ertheless, exceptions were made for certain children, including
those who were deemed mentally or physically unable to attend.
Other states soon followed suit, and by 1885, sixteen states
had passed compulsory attendance legislation. It would not be
until 1918, however, that all states would have such educational
requirements as part of their state law.
In addition to compulsory attendance legislation, the 1850s
witnessed another educational milestone: the formation of the
National Teachers Association in 1857. Founded by a small
group of educators in Philadelphia, this group evolved into what
is today known as the National Educators Association, the larg-
est association of its kind in the world.
Segregation
Yet, while the popularity of public education continued to rise
during the 19th Century, the opportunity to attend was not equal
for all, particularly in the southern states.
Throughout the 18th Century, while there were instances of
integrated schools, most often in the Northern states, segrega-
tion between black and white was much more common. Yet,
many slaves viewed illiteracy as a perpetrating factor of
slavery;
hence, many pursued education, often at great cost to them-
selves, as offenses such as the schooling of a slave could be met
with severe punishment of both teacher and pupil. Nevertheless ,
African-Americans recognized the value of education to free-
dom, and in addition to learning individually, some established
secret schools for the purpose of education (Dodge, 2006).
Following the Civil War, some freedmen sought to gain from
the government a right to education. Even in many freedmen's
schools, however, conditions were difficult, with lack of proper
materials, crowded school rooms, and students who often them-
selves were under-clothed and under-fed. Nevertheless, the
speed with which many African-Americans understood and
mastered materials often came as a surprise to their instructors
(Dodge, 2006).
Despite their new free standing, however, African Americans
faced many obstacles in the road to gaining equal access to
public education, and the end of the 19th Century witnessed the
Page 4EBSCO Research Starters® • Copyright © 2014 EBSCO

History of Public Education in the U.S.
issuance of the famous United States Supreme Court decision in
Plessy v. Ferguson. In this 1892 case, the Supreme Court upheld
the constitutionality of Louisiana's "separate but equal" law.
This ruling served as a basis for implementing and continuing
the practice of segregated education.
Industrialization & Integration
Extended Compulsory Education Laws
While segregation between black and white remained intact for
the next 58 years, national industrialization provided the
impetus
for integration of immigrant children into their new nation.
The turn of the 20th Century and the Industrial Revolution
brought a marked increase in immigration. As parents went to
work in cities and factories, children went to school in order to
learn English and assimilate into their new culture. Despite the
age of children, many families saw employment as more benefi -
cial than education and preferred that their children work rather
than study. This reality, coupled with the recognition of the
nega-
tive effects of child labor and an uneducated populace, led to
child labor laws and additional compulsory education laws. By
1918, compulsory education legislation existed in every state.
By the following year, legislation providing funds for transport-
ing students to school existed in every state as well.
Changing Educational Theories
The early decades of the 20th Century also witnessed signifi -
cant development in philosophical thoughts related to
education.
American psychologist and educator G. Stanley Hall produced
works investigating the relationship between adolescent devel-
opment and education, and in 1916, American psychologist
Lewis Terman announced what is today known as the Stanford-
Binet Intelligence Test. This test helped lay the groundwork for
standardized testing that it still used today.
In this same year, John Dewey published Democracy and Edu-
cation: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education. Dewey
popularized the philosophy of experiential education, which
encourages focusing more on a child's learning experience and
less on the teacher's espousing a rigid formula for instruction.
Modern Legislation
The National Defense Education Act & the Elementary
& Secondary Education Act
As new philosophies of education slowly overtook traditional
ones, the role of the government in providing education also
grew. In 1958, Congress passed the first comprehensive fed-
eral legislation regarding education. A reaction to the Cold War,
the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) was born out of a
necessity that the United States continue to have highly special-
ized technicians and engineers in order to compete with Soviet
technology. In addition to funding loans for college, the NDEA
provided support for improved mathematics and scientific
instruction in elementary and secondary schools.
The following decade, Congress followed the NDEA with the
ESAA, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. While the
NDEA focused on subject matter, the ESAA focused on social
factors and sought to provide quality education to lower -income
children. Despite increases in funding, however, the measure
has fallen short of complete fulfillment of its mission as many
students from lower-income families continue to struggle edu-
cationally.
Brown v. Board of Education & Engel v. Vitale
The 1950s also saw the end of 58 years of legal segregation.
On May 17, 1954, in the case of Brown v. Board of Education,
the Supreme Court overturned its 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson deci -
sion, stating that separate educational facilities are by definition
unequal. While discrimination in public schooling often con-
tinued, it no longer had the legal backing of the United States
government, and Brown v. Board of Education paved the way
for full educational equality for black and white Americans.
Perhaps the most significant 20th Century legal occurrence
affecting education, however, came in 1962 with the Supreme
Court ruling in Engel v. Vitale. In its decision, the Court held
that
prayer in public schools violated the Constitution. The
following
year, in Abington v. Schempp, the Court further ruled that
official
use of the Bible in public education was unconstitutional.
The Education of All Handicapped Children Act
By the latter half of the 20th Century, education was both
univer-
sal and integrated, yet there remained individuals who still
could
not benefit from the public education system, namely, those
who
were physically handicapped or otherwise disabled. In 1975,
Congress sought to change this with the passage of Public Law
94-142, the Education of All Handicapped Children Act. Not
only did the act require that appropriate education be extended
to
handicapped children, but it also implemented a system of Indi -
vidualized Education Plans (IEPs) whereby disabled students'
educational needs are evaluated and, based on the evaluation,
students receive individualized educational and other services
aimed at helping them achieve specified goals.
The U.S. Department of Education & the No Child Left
Behind Act
In 1980, Congress officially established the U.S. Departme nt
of Education as a Cabinet agency. Although the Department
of Education acknowledges that education remains primarily a
responsibility of state and local government, increases in
federal
mandates on education have been met with resistance by some
states even as they have been concurrently welcomed by many
parents.
In 2001, the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) became the law
of the land. The NCLB was a reauthorization of the ESAA and
instituted requirements for both schools and teachers. Among
these requirements are annual testing, statewide standards for
Page 5EBSCO Research Starters® • Copyright © 2014 EBSCO

History of Public Education in the U.S.
measuring educational progress, publicized school report cards
to inform parents of both school and teacher performances,
penalties for schools who fail to achieve set standards in cer -
tain areas, and school choice options for parents whose children
attend failing schools. While many parents welcomed the NCLB
Act, many teachers viewed it as an under-funded mandate, set-
ting requirements but providing no funding to achieve them.
The
National Education Association (NEA), the country's largest
professional employee association, called for changes in the act
to lessen penalties on schools and increase federal funding for
initiatives.
The recession and global financial crisis that began in 2007
resulted in sustained and repeated budget cuts to public educa-
tion, while NCLB mandated increased spending on programs
and assessments. Federal funding decreased, but the primary
source of school funding - property taxes - was greatly effected
by the crash of real estate values nationwide. More than half
the states instituted policy changes to allow greater flexibility
for school districts to spend what monies they did receive, but
year over year cuts required drastic reductions in staffing and
programs (especially non-core subjects such as arts and music)
and increased class sizes (Cavanagh, 2011). Meanwhile, schools
struggled to raise standardized test scores and prevent flight
to private schools or higher achieving public schools. Charter
schools were met with parental enthusiasm, though performance
of these alternative models was mixed, and per-student funding
was lost to public schools with the exit of students attending
char-
ters. Advocates of charters, however, argued that the challenge
of alternative models would force improvements at traditional
schools (Maloney, Batdorff, May, & Terrell, 2013).
From the humble school in Philemon Pormont's Boston home
to the present-day structure consisting of public school systems
nationwide, education in American history boasts a long and
vibrant heritage. As the effort continues to ensure that all
children
have equal access to quality education, public schooling in
Amer-
ica will continue to play an integral part in our nation's future.

EBSCO Research Starters® • Copyright © 2014 EBSCO Information Services, Inc. • All Rights Reserved RESEARCH STARTERS ACADEMIC TOPIC OVERVIEWS History of Public Education in the U.S. History of Education > History of Public Education in the U.S. Abstract Public education in America in large part was the product of historical movements that swept the nation, including national incorporation, widespread urbanization, and modern industrial - ization. Public education began during the 17th century w hen the Massachusetts Bay Colony instituted compulsory education laws. The 19th century saw the establishment of specialized schools for the mentally and physically handicapped, the expan- sion of compulsory education laws, and the establishment of freemen's schools. As the country became increasingly industri - alized, child labor laws were coupled with further compulsory education laws, and new educational theories were developed. During the 20th century, a number of court cases and legisla- tive initiatives brought about the end of segregation, prohibited prayer in public schools, and improved educational opportunities for disabled and disadvantaged students. Overview Public education in America has a history dating back nearly to the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in 1620. Although
  • 2. the first public school appeared well before both the Constitu- tion and the Declaration of Independence, the small, independent public schools of centuries past bear little if any resemblance to the system of universal public education now in place in the United States. The factors which led to the inception, growth, and development of public education in America are numerous, and they include not only the pursuit of learning, but also, perhaps more importantly, the development of the nation's philosophy of who should teach and who should be taught. Public education in America in large part was the product of historical movements that swept the nation, including national incorporation, widespread urbanization, and modern industrial- ization. In order to glean an accurate understanding of the history of America's educational system, each of these eras in our coun- try's history must be studied in turn. While these factors constitute a timeline in American educational history, they cannot be fully understood apart from a concurrent examination of the development of educational philosophy, the changing understanding of the purpose and aim of public educa- Abstract Overview Further Insights Colonial Era Education in Puritan New England

Therefore, a comprehensive portrayal of the myriad factors that constitute the development of American education requires an examination of 1) the philosophical roots of early-American education, 2) the growth and development of 19th Century public schooling within the newly-formed nation, 3) the impact of urbanization and the industrial revolution on the evolution of public school attendance in the latter half of the 19th Century and early 20th Century, and 4) the increased involvement of gov- ernment in public education. Further Insights Colonial Era Education in Puritan New England The first public school in America was established in 1635 in Boston, Massachusetts, in the home of Philemon Pormont. Atten- dance at the school was free and open to all children. Founded by New England Puritans, the school, called the Boston Latin School utilized religious instruction in the Bible as a launching pad for the study of Latin and Greek classics. It is important
  • 5. to note that, during the colonial era, religion formed the basis for American life, and the local church or meetinghouse was the focal point of each community. To many people, the primary purpose of learning to read was to gain the ability to obtain reli - gious instruction from the Bible. The year following the opening of the Boston Latin School witnessed the establishment of America's first college, Harvard College, whose founding purpose was to train preachers. Hence, for those fortunate to attend, the college would be an extension of the religious instruction received in local schools. In addition to local schools, during this period Dame Schools were popular. These schools were for young children ranging in age from 6-8, although often younger. Taught by women, often widows, Dame Schools usually met in the instructors' homes and focused on teaching reading skills rather than on mathematics and writing. Although titled a "school," it was not uncommon for Dame Schools also to function as early day care facilities for colonial children. Apprenticeship programs were also primary sources of spe- cialized education in colonial America, particularly among the poor. Through apprenticeships, young boys, and by the mid- 17th Century girls as well, were paired with a skilled tradesman. The apprentice would spend several years working at his mentor's side, and upon completion of the apprenticeship, it was expected that the student would possess the requisite knowledge and abil - ity to begin working on his own. Beyond teaching only the trade, however, mentors, or "Masters" were also expected to train their apprentices in matters of good moral behavior (Barger, 2004).
  • 6. In these early American schools, a very common method of instruction was the hornbook. Dating as far back as fifteenth- century Europe, the hornbook was a small wooden paddle on which was mounted a sheet containing lessons. A piece of horn from oxen or sheep and later from materials such as leather or metal, covered the sheet to protect the lesson. Oftentimes, a hole would be placed in the horn handle, and this enabled pupils to fasten these early textbooks to their clothing or carry them around their necks. Standard studies contained on hornbooks included the alphabet, formations of vowels and consonants, and the Lord's Prayer. In colonial America, education was deemed the responsibili ty of the family. Parents were ultimately responsible for the rear - ing and training of their children, and there was an absence of reliance upon government institutions or entities to provide qual- ity education for the young. Nevertheless, in this early colonial world, one can identify the roots of today's compulsory educa- tion laws. As early as 1642, Massachusetts passed a law that required that children be instructed in religious education as well as in the laws of the colony. Yet, the expressed onus for doing so fell not to the state or local communities, but rather to parents and apprenticeship masters. Negligence in either of these areas was punishable by fine. Furthermore, the law stated that parents and masters must "catechize" their children in the principles of reli- gion, or if they were unable to do so themselves, that they must provide for it. The 1642 legislation also stipulated that if par - ents or masters failed to perform the duties outlined in the law, local authorities could remove the children and place them with masters who would properly instruct them. Although the Massa- chusetts Law of 1642 stopped well short of establishing a formal
  • 7. school system, its importance as the first piece of legislation to require schooling cannot be underestimated. Soon after, the Massachusetts Law of 1647 required that every town comprised of 50 families or more hire a teacher for the purpose of instructing the town's children in reading and writ- ing. Moreover, towns of 100 families or more were also required to have a Latin instructor in order to prepare students for entry into Harvard College. Although schooling was still considered a local family responsibility, at times the colonial government would fund payment for these teachers. Education in the Middle & Southern Colonies Education in the Middle Colonies differed slightly from that in New England. While schools in New England were primarily Puritan, schools in the Middle colonies were often developed by Mennonites or Quakers. It was German immigrant, teacher, and Mennonite Christopher Dock who, in 1710, penned the first book on pedagogy printed in America. Dock's work, Schul-Ord- nung, or School Management, outlined a series of rewards and punishments aimed not at teacher dominance but at gaining stu- dent trust and affection (Sass & Ruth).

Among those involved in the development of middle-colony schools
  • 8. was Benjamin Franklin who helped to establish the Academy of Phil- adelphia in 1751. This Academy later grew into the University of Pennsylvania (Penn in the eighteenth century). In the southern colonies, too, public education was taking root. Even before the establishment of Roxbury and Harvard, Virgin- ian Benjamin Syms passed away and bequeathed in his will a plot of 200 acres with clear instructions that it was to be used for the establishment of a free school. Another Virginia school soon followed, and by the close of the seventeenth century, public schools could be found in northern, middle, and southern colo- nies (Tyler, 1897). Early National Legislation As government took an increased interest in requiring and pro- viding for the education of children, public schools continued to multiply. As the pivotal events leading up to the unification of the colonies into a nation occurred in the latter portion of the 18th Century, America witnessed additional landmark educational milestones. The two most significant of these were the Land Ordi- nance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. Specifically applicable to the Western Territories, the Land Ordinance of 1785 allotted land in each western township for the establishment of a public school. Two years later, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 provided that since religion, morality, and knowledge were pre- requisite to good government, schools should be "encouraged."
  • 9. Thus, by the time the Constitution became the law of the land, and before even the Bill of Rights had gained ratification, uni- versal public education in America was well on the road to establishment. Education in the New Nation Specialized Schools While public schooling was becoming more widespread, the implementation of government-mandated universal public education still lay well in the future. Nevertheless, significant developments in the 19th Century established a philosophical foundation and showed a practical application for compulsory education. Most significant of these was the establishment of specialized schools for the blind and deaf. The early half of the 19th Century saw the establishment of three such schools: • The Connecticut Asylum at Hartford for the instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons, founded in 1817 and the first permanent school for the deaf in America; • The New England Asylum for the Blind, which became the nation's first school of its type when it opened in 1829; • The New York State Asylum for Idiots, founded in 1851 and authorized by the New York State Legislature. Such institutions segregated certain members of society for their schooling and led the way for the enactment of compulsory leg- islation, and many colonies pursued such legislation as a means of gaining statehood and, consequently, uniting with fellow- states to form a nation (Baker, 2004, p. 33).
  • 10. Compulsory Education Legislation & the National Teacher Association In 1852, Massachusetts enacted the first compulsory education legislation in the nation. The act required that children ages 8 through 14 attend school for a minimum of three months out of the year, and of those three months, six weeks were required to be consecutive. Violation of this act was punishable by fine. Nev- ertheless, exceptions were made for certain children, including those who were deemed mentally or physically unable to attend. Other states soon followed suit, and by 1885, sixteen states had passed compulsory attendance legislation. It would not be until 1918, however, that all states would have such educational requirements as part of their state law. In addition to compulsory attendance legislation, the 1850s witnessed another educational milestone: the formation of the National Teachers Association in 1857. Founded by a small group of educators in Philadelphia, this group evolved into what is today known as the National Educators Association, the larg- est association of its kind in the world. Segregation Yet, while the popularity of public education continued to rise during the 19th Century, the opportunity to attend was not equal for all, particularly in the southern states. Throughout the 18th Century, while there were instances of integrated schools, most often in the Northern states, segrega- tion between black and white was much more common. Yet, many slaves viewed illiteracy as a perpetrating factor of slavery; hence, many pursued education, often at great cost to them- selves, as offenses such as the schooling of a slave could be met with severe punishment of both teacher and pupil. Nevertheless ,
  • 11. African-Americans recognized the value of education to free- dom, and in addition to learning individually, some established secret schools for the purpose of education (Dodge, 2006). Following the Civil War, some freedmen sought to gain from the government a right to education. Even in many freedmen's schools, however, conditions were difficult, with lack of proper materials, crowded school rooms, and students who often them- selves were under-clothed and under-fed. Nevertheless, the speed with which many African-Americans understood and mastered materials often came as a surprise to their instructors (Dodge, 2006). Despite their new free standing, however, African Americans faced many obstacles in the road to gaining equal access to public education, and the end of the 19th Century witnessed the Page 4EBSCO Research Starters® • Copyright © 2014 EBSCO Information Services, Inc. • All Rights Reserved History of Public Education in the U.S. issuance of the famous United States Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson. In this 1892 case, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Louisiana's "separate but equal" law. This ruling served as a basis for implementing and continuing the practice of segregated education. Industrialization & Integration Extended Compulsory Education Laws While segregation between black and white remained intact for the next 58 years, national industrialization provided the impetus for integration of immigrant children into their new nation.
  • 12. The turn of the 20th Century and the Industrial Revolution brought a marked increase in immigration. As parents went to work in cities and factories, children went to school in order to learn English and assimilate into their new culture. Despite the age of children, many families saw employment as more benefi - cial than education and preferred that their children work rather than study. This reality, coupled with the recognition of the nega- tive effects of child labor and an uneducated populace, led to child labor laws and additional compulsory education laws. By 1918, compulsory education legislation existed in every state. By the following year, legislation providing funds for transport- ing students to school existed in every state as well. Changing Educational Theories The early decades of the 20th Century also witnessed signifi - cant development in philosophical thoughts related to education. American psychologist and educator G. Stanley Hall produced works investigating the relationship between adolescent devel- opment and education, and in 1916, American psychologist Lewis Terman announced what is today known as the Stanford- Binet Intelligence Test. This test helped lay the groundwork for standardized testing that it still used today. In this same year, John Dewey published Democracy and Edu- cation: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education. Dewey popularized the philosophy of experiential education, which encourages focusing more on a child's learning experience and less on the teacher's espousing a rigid formula for instruction. Modern Legislation The National Defense Education Act & the Elementary & Secondary Education Act As new philosophies of education slowly overtook traditional
  • 13. ones, the role of the government in providing education also grew. In 1958, Congress passed the first comprehensive fed- eral legislation regarding education. A reaction to the Cold War, the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) was born out of a necessity that the United States continue to have highly special- ized technicians and engineers in order to compete with Soviet technology. In addition to funding loans for college, the NDEA provided support for improved mathematics and scientific instruction in elementary and secondary schools. The following decade, Congress followed the NDEA with the ESAA, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. While the NDEA focused on subject matter, the ESAA focused on social factors and sought to provide quality education to lower -income children. Despite increases in funding, however, the measure has fallen short of complete fulfillment of its mission as many students from lower-income families continue to struggle edu- cationally. Brown v. Board of Education & Engel v. Vitale The 1950s also saw the end of 58 years of legal segregation. On May 17, 1954, in the case of Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court overturned its 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson deci - sion, stating that separate educational facilities are by definition unequal. While discrimination in public schooling often con- tinued, it no longer had the legal backing of the United States government, and Brown v. Board of Education paved the way for full educational equality for black and white Americans. Perhaps the most significant 20th Century legal occurrence affecting education, however, came in 1962 with the Supreme Court ruling in Engel v. Vitale. In its decision, the Court held that prayer in public schools violated the Constitution. The following year, in Abington v. Schempp, the Court further ruled that
  • 14. official use of the Bible in public education was unconstitutional. The Education of All Handicapped Children Act By the latter half of the 20th Century, education was both univer- sal and integrated, yet there remained individuals who still could not benefit from the public education system, namely, those who were physically handicapped or otherwise disabled. In 1975, Congress sought to change this with the passage of Public Law 94-142, the Education of All Handicapped Children Act. Not only did the act require that appropriate education be extended to handicapped children, but it also implemented a system of Indi - vidualized Education Plans (IEPs) whereby disabled students' educational needs are evaluated and, based on the evaluation, students receive individualized educational and other services aimed at helping them achieve specified goals. The U.S. Department of Education & the No Child Left Behind Act In 1980, Congress officially established the U.S. Departme nt of Education as a Cabinet agency. Although the Department of Education acknowledges that education remains primarily a responsibility of state and local government, increases in federal mandates on education have been met with resistance by some states even as they have been concurrently welcomed by many parents. In 2001, the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) became the law of the land. The NCLB was a reauthorization of the ESAA and instituted requirements for both schools and teachers. Among these requirements are annual testing, statewide standards for

While many parents welcomed the NCLB Act, many teachers viewed it as an under-funded mandate, set- ting requirements but providing no funding to achieve them. The National Education Association (NEA), the country's largest professional employee association, called for changes in the act to lessen penalties on schools and increase federal funding for initiatives. The recession and global financial crisis that began in 2007 resulted in sustained and repeated budget cuts to public educa- tion, while NCLB mandated increased spending on programs and assessments. Federal funding decreased, but the primary source of school funding - property taxes - was greatly effected by the crash of real estate values nationwide. More than half the states instituted policy changes to allow greater flexibility for school districts to spend what monies they did receive, but year over year cuts required drastic reductions in staffing and programs (especially non-core subjects such as arts and music) and increased class sizes (Cavanagh, 2011). Meanwhile, schools struggled to raise standardized test scores and prevent flight to private schools or higher achieving public schools. Charter schools were met with parental enthusiasm, though performance of these alternative models was mixed, and per-student funding
  • 16. was lost to public schools with the exit of students attending char- ters. Advocates of charters, however, argued that the challenge of alternative models would force improvements at traditional schools (Maloney, Batdorff, May, & Terrell, 2013). From the humble school in Philemon Pormont's Boston home to the present-day structure consisting of public school systems nationwide, education in American history boasts a long and vibrant heritage. As the effort continues to ensure that all children have equal access to quality education, public schooling in Amer- ica will continue to play an integral part in our nation's future.
