Public Education And Inequality

















( http://goo.gl/1HIFpa) this image is to show that public schools during the industrial revolution had diffrent racial opportunities.

Public schools were made to allow training for better jobs, have grater financial security and social status, assimulate millions of immigrants and to provide a stable and prosperous democratic nation.

Some problems that the first public schools faced was that there was no formal school, many left after just 4 years of attending. Also there was physical violence between a teacher and the students.

Yet public schools didn't seem such a good idea then, their main purpose was to offer help to families. Such as childcare, and education to people's children. Also schools took children out of working in factories with extremely awful conditions.

There was also a huge inequality issue that came with public schools. They offered diffrent opportunities for black and white students. A school was a 62% whites and a 34% blacks attending school.

Other issues that public schools faced were the fact that they wanted to replace ones culture by changing their language.
