Settlers
This was important because this is when schooling in America first started. Mainly boys were educated, but later girls were as well. I think it is important to recognize that education started out focusing on religion and culture ideas. -
Separation of Church and State
This was an important time because the separation of Church and State was mainly for politics, but it had a huge effect of schools. After it was decided that we needed the separation, schools started teaching more on subjects like math and reading or writing. This took religion out of schools except for private schools. -
Brown vs. Board of Education
This was a major turning point in education because after the ruling schools became more integrated for equal education for everyone. By this happening we can learn more about each other and other cultures compared to our own. -
No Child Left Behind
This was an important event in education because schools were held accountable for whether or not students were knowledgeable in subjects that they will need for the rest of their life. The results from test scores helped schools determine what subjects they really needed to work on so students could get a better education. -
Common Core
This was and still is an important part of education because it is what the states feel are necessary for students to learn to go to college or get a job. So that is basic math, language arts, some science, etc. This helped ensure that students were learning the information they needed to succeed in today's world.
