John Locke
John Locke realized children's minds were an open book for learning. He shared his ideas in, " Some Thoughts Concerning Education." People began to believe that children could be taught the skills necessary to be successful and did not have to settle as general laborers. Being educated allowed these children to grow, create businesses, and make good civic decisions. sheepdogsoftware.co.uk/BookColl/Specif/Auct13jly/f13711e-title%20pg-C4497.jpg -
U.S. Constitution
The U.S. Constitution separated church and state which allowed schools to educate children in areas most beneficial to the country. Up to this point, Colonists were teaching children enough to understand their religion, but now there would be a standard that they all followed and it was geared to civic knowledge. Children with this knowledge would ensure our nation's survival. libertarianchristians.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/united-states-constitution.jpg -
Civil Rights Act
When the Civil Rights Act was signed into law on July 2, 1964, it revolutionized the American school system by saying all children have the right to go to any school. An awareness of the vast inequalities of our country caused educators to begin teaching children to have acceptance and understanding towards classmates. All children are created equal. www.oldpoliticals.com/itemImages/000004/8427 lg.jpeg -

Every Student Succeeds Act
The "Every Student Succeeds Act" of 2015, replaces "No Child Left Behind Act. This change allow each state to intervene in struggling schools however they see fit. Flexibility instead of a standard is key because demographics are so diverse. Just as every child learns differently, every school is also different. knowledgeguest.aasl.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/1 Every-Student-Succeeds-Act.jpg
