First Special Education School in the U.S
Originally called the Connecticut Asylum for the Education and Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb, it is now the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut. The word “dumb” was meant to the people that were unable to speak. It took 3 years (1812-1815) to identify 84 deaf people in Connecticut, enough to start a school. This has helped children with a hearing cognitive have opportunities just like the rest of the children.

Transportation & Schools Buses
This bill pasted in 1919 and it provides about 10 Billion rides to and from school annually. The school bus leads the safest system of transportation in the Unites States. States passed this bill to force school attendance and to strengthen the public schools. If we didn't have public transportation for children, their motivation wouldn't be there to learn. It gave everyone a chance to get a education.

National School Lunch Act
The Act helped give low-cost or free lunches to children every school day. It provides healthy balanced to public and non-profit private schools. Having a healthy lunch not just for your stomach but for your brain is important. Healthy foods fuel the brain to learn and remember. Some families couldn't afford lunch so they would go hungry and that would slow their learning down. That lunch would be the only food some kids would eat that whole day.
