Building penitentiaries, asylums, almshouses and correction houses was apparently not enough to eradicate the rampant rate of criminal activities and poverty in the 1820’s. Politicians, humanitarians and educators endeavor towards enhancing the educational system, which according to them “was an insurance against social upheaval and instill virtue and patriotism in the lower classes and lift them from poverty into hardworking respectability” (Chudacoff Pg 58) was not in vain. Cities like Boston, New York and Philadelphia established elementary schools by 1836. I believe the establishment of schools around the country was important because it encouraged diversity by bringing children of different backgrounds together. It also created employment opportunities for teachers and managers.
The educational reform was a failure in terms of eradicating poverty. It caused conflicts among Catholics, immigrant, African American, rural and southern working class people. It affected the working class’ children directly and the tax payers who had to pay more for an expense which was not worth it due to the high immigration rate which lead to congestion in classrooms and not enough teachers for the large number of students.
The educational reform in the late 1830's was a failure in some urban cities due to overpopulation and conflicts among religious/ethnic groups
I too believe that the creation of educational facilities were a great benifit to the cities because everyone needs an education. So the schools provided them with education and a place to get together and meet new people.
I definitely agree that education was one way the district wanted to control the poor population and keep the streets clean from crime. But then overpopulation always reads to a bad thing and even the schools at some point fail to maintain their goals.
I agree education was and still is important to any society. During earlier years, many immigrants came to the city without proper education. Education not only taught them how to read, it also provided society the basic knowledge of hygiene and better living conditions.
Education is always important. i definitely agree with education being a large concern, and as well as keeping the streets clean from crime. Education taught people how to be successful for the rest of their lives therefore becoming a staple in society.
Education has come a long way since the 1820’s. However, I think that there is one thing that has not changed since the past, which is the biased public education systems that we often see.
In the 1820’s the government was run by white, Protestant men who believed in teaching values to children based on Protestant ethics. They did not like the Catholics, Southerners, and African Americans so they tried to steer children away from developing behaviors such as those groups.
Even today, we hear discrepancies in the education system. For example, there was a Texas textbook controversy in early 2010, where the Texas public system wanted to revise the roles of our founding leaders in textbooks. Texas is one of the biggest public education systems, so whatever changes they make, will most likely affect other states as well.
