Education Reform
Education – Your Door To The Future!
NO EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS
No uniform educational policy existed in the United States. School conditions varied throughout the region. Massachusetts and Vermont were the only states to pass a compulsory school attendance law. Few Children continued school beyond the ages of ten.
Education Movement
Around the 1830's, Americans increasing began to demand tax-supported public schools. In 1834, Pennsylvania established a tax-supported public school system. The system was optional erupted from well-to-do taxpayers. They saw no reason to support schools that their children, who were mostly enrolled in private schools, would not attend. However, 42 percent of the elementary school age in Pennsylvania were attending public schools. One remarkable leader in the public school reform movement was Horace Mann from Massachusetts. He wanted to help because, throughout his childhood, he spent partly at work and partly in poor schools. In 1837, he became the first secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education. In 12 years of his service, Mann established teacher-training programs and instituted curriculum reforms. He also doubled the money that the state spent on schools.

EDUCATION HEADING EVERYWHERE
Other states started following Massachusett's and Pennsylvania's illustration. By the 1850's every state had provided some form of publicly funded elementary schools. In states in the far West and in Southern states, however, it took years before schools were firmly established.
