There is no definite way to govern schools. All a society can do is implement things that are, to the best of their knowledge, effective in teaching students. Education has evolved quite a bit from where it first started in the united states. The reasons as to why schools were started back then are not the reasons why schools still exist today. Yes, schools may have been focused on getting children to become workers. However that does not mean its the same today. Or Does it? Can we really relate a different generation’s educational system to our own? The world is constantly changing and so isnt the role of education changing with it?

Schools served a different purpose then because the country was in a different position then. Now it is a world superpower. Then it was defining itself, trying to grow and define itself. In some ways, I think that we are still doing the same today in evaluating the purpose of the American government system. So I agree with you and offer the point that the reason the educational system took the form it did during that time period was because of the status of our nation.
