Native American Children Forced into American Schools
Important for the negative impacts, not positive. Forced an entire culture to assimilate, and in that process, much tradition and culture was lost. Many families were separated. This event can be used as a learning point from our past to show the importance of different life experience and culture in our lives today. Can be used to teach acceptance. Learn from it so we do not repeat it. -
Pierce vs. Society of Sisters
Withheld the right for parents to choose which mode of education was right for their child. Kept the decision of what type of education benefited the family most for the families rather than letting the state decided what type of education was best. Also protected privates schools and their teachings of religion and individual spiritual practices. This is important because it protected a culture of people (Christians, for the most part). -
National School Lunch Act
It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to children each school day. This aided in helping level the playing field for students in lower socioeconomic groups. Also ensured adequate nutrition for students so they could continue to learn effectively throughout the day. Also aids students who cannot afford or do not get full meals at home. -
Brown vs. The Board of Education
Changed the way we viewed teaching. Opened the door for equal opportunities to education for all students regardless of race, gender, age, cultural background, and life experience. -
Title IV of Education Amendment
Further pushes the idea of equal opportunity of education for all despite differences. It was used as a way to tell individual states that the federal government does not condone segregation. Contributed to the change of schools and policies that no longer allow discrimination.
