The structure of the schools themselves, between 1894 and 1910, consisted of two divisions of classes, kindergarten through third grade and fourth through sixth grade. First, second, and third graders concentrated on lessons in music, health, manners, arithmetic, and some limited vocational skills defined by the Indian Office as industrial work. Instruction in reading, grammar, and spelling finished the school day. Beginning with the fourth grade academic requirements were minimized in favor of more intensive vocational training. This consisted of 145 minutes a day of instruction in reading, history, geography, and other topics; vocational work, however, took up the most time with 240 minutes being dedicated to those tasks (Ellis, 1996).

2. What role did the family play in the socialization and control of children before the 1800s? Family served as a primary institution of social control. Many adults played a role in children’s socialization and control.
The United States government has effected huge social changes in the last four decades. During 1940s United States emerged as a world leader. The past years of the 1900s many factors have happened that resulted in the change of the United States history and future. It changed the everyday lives of Americans of how they survived and supported themselves and their family, in both positive and negative ways that affected them daily. For instance, the political affairs of the government and the election of candidates for certain parties like democratic or republican can affect the history of the country, on how the government or Congress passed laws that were of equal protection to its people and how it helps benefit both civilians and the nation itself. On social occasions this could affect the United States history because it is solely based on how the people will react and respond to a certain topic, action, or movement. Their opinions may differ depending on where they stand, on how they look at it from their perspective in their belief on morals, religion, or sense of patriotism to the United States. Advancements in technology affect the nation’s history as well because the improved technology in the 1900s provided many uses for the Americans. The basis of these technologies were to offer entertainment, transportation, communication, military, and also for labor tasks and work.
To start off with, the majority of the schools in the 1840’s had an attendance as little as 132 days per school year. Similarly, only 59% of the population of kids in the 1840’s attended school. However, 1 teacher taught all the students of all ages. The youngest students would sit in the front practicing their ABC’s, while the oldest students would sit in the back learning about Math, English (reading and writing), and History (geography). In fact, the older kids would sometimes help the teacher teach the younger kids. Instead of using mechanical pencils and white boards, students would use slates and chalk to write on the chalkboard. Surprisingly, school ended for kids after 8th grade, which meant that they would graduate after 8th grade. In order to graduate, students need to pass a final exam that goes over everything you learned over your lifetime. In addition, another interesting fact is that teachers lived with their students’ families sometimes because they had nowhere else to live. Nevertheless, teachers had to follow rules that were set by the leader or the president at that time. The teachers had to attend church and were not allowed to dance during special
It’s 2016 and the world isn’t the same to as it was many years ago. Our world has changed tremendously in so many ways. The way people worked in the early 1900s is completely different to how people work now a days. With all these new machineries and robots you can say that people don’t have to put in as much effort anymore due to the aid of technology. For example, in the early 1900s you could not walk into any store and pay your items without a cashier present, and now we can, thanks to self-checkout lanes.
Speedo® originated in 1914 under the brand name 'Fortitude', which was taken from the motto on the clan MacRae crest.
The common public school has progressed greatly in the last hundred years. It has gone from single room school houses to massive buildings housing more than 2,000 students. Most people get an education past the eighth grade compared to the five percent in 1890 (Joy 2017) and a little over thirty-three percent of people over 25 have graduated college (The Hill). But despite these major changes in the public school system, the major goals and purposes remain relatively the same. The curriculum has changed as more knowledge has been gained but not much else has really changed in the grand scheme of things.
The upper or ruling class of Victorian era consists of aristocrats and leading business and political families. The change of social structure in 19th century social and ethical changes, the high society life of recreation lost favour. In case of aristocrats, when the title and property went to elder son, he was required to accomplish many task rather than reflecting his family name or property. He was required to sit in Parliament, have a hand in nearby illicit relationships, and utilise his impact in a beneficent cause, despite the fact that he did not do any paid work. Although, apart from the elder child, the other younger children were also part of the property share, however, they were supposed to select their career such as military officer, or colonial administration.in other words, the children and the children of children were supposed to be aristocrat with special rights to practice and enjoy (Clark, 2013).
We were once a country that was founded by intellectuals who believed education was the path to salvation; they believed that the devil couldn't take an educated man and so they taught their children to exalt the written word. We were a country of theologians who did not believe in the literal interpretation of Genesis.
Children of other classes (farmers, artisans, and merchants) attended locally run schools that had no set curriculum. They focused on practical knowledge such as basic reading and writing. In the Meiji era a standardized curriculum was developed. Technical schools were set up, and elementary school became mandatory for all children.
Today new school reforms have been formulated. These reforms are created to form individuals into becoming financially advanced and globally competitive persons. The very means to gauge the progress of the new reform is through test scores. Standardized tests and the test scores are now tantamount to accountability, transforming the educational system into a dehumanized market institution. The school is seen as a capital investment and is now measured according to financial value. Today 's school reforms have seemed to do away with the notion of schools "helping to create people who are fully developed as human beings and as democratic citizens." (Tyack D. 1997) However, amidst the prevailing regress in
Education is an essential element of early life and is considered to be the bridge between classes and social structures. It is a worldwide equalizer and instructor, but academic systems have only been standardized and mandatory for roughly two-hundred years and consistently vary across the globe. These systems vary from year-round and 180-day academic years, to college-like structures and elementary organizations. In the United States, the academic calendar was created around a nineteenth-century agrarian society where there was need for a prolonged summer break that allowed for all members to aid in harvest. This system, to this day, is still in place in most schools across the country, but is failing in efficient education standards.
In the 19th century especially during the period between 1865 and 1900, many people envisioned the United States as a country with unlimited individual economic opportunities and a place where social equality and political democracy reigned supreme. I believe this does not accurately describe the real conditions in the United during the period. In the 19th century, United States witnessed and experienced economic improvement on the national scale though people still lacked opportunities to better their lives. Under the outward portrayal of brilliance and equality for all by the U.S., vices such as greed, oppression, corruption and segregation actually defined the real situation on the ground. Political and freedoms were equally limited. For this reason, it is untrue to conclude that individuals prospered without interference and that all rights were respected.
In the decades that made up the fifties, sixties, and seventies numerous events that would paint the canvas of American education took place. Equality was an idea that some thought we would never see. Civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. saw this idea of equity as an obtainable dream that was in the hearts of all Americans. Though desegregation and the fair treatment of African Americans was at the forefront of the civil rights movement, there were several issues that would be brought to the attention of law makers, federal judges, and the education system. Such issues included segregation, bilingual students, and special needs education.
During the 20th century, education in Tibetan society was not highly regarded due to the fact that Tibetans did not view education as useful. Tibetans believed that their role in Tibetan society was already determined, and there were no means of social or economic advancement. However, Palden Gyatso, Tashi Tsering, and Phutsok, Tibetan males, challenge those notions by obtaining different types of education in distinctive ways. Palden Gyatso, Tashi Tsering, and Phutsok’s actions allow other Tibetans to realize that education is not confined to a single type of education as education can range from religious education to an informal type of education obtained by various tutors, and to a formal education obtained in a school. Palden Gyatso, Tashi Tsering, and Phutsok not only share the need to obtain an education, but their attitude is similar. They knew that at times they needed to be assertive and fight against the opinion and challenges administrated by their authoritative figures, but they also knew at other times they were required to be submissive in order to further their education. In addition, they face identical authoritative figures: parental, religious, and educational figures, who challenge them. It is critical to note that Tashi and Palden’s stories, in terms of their education, focuses on the time period before the Chinese invaded Tibet. On the other hand, Phutsok’s story, in terms of his education, focuses on the time after the Chinese invade Tibet.
In 1870, the voting rights were becoming better and better. For example, the fifteenth Amendment was established. This Amendment prohibited Government restrictions on voting rights because of a personś race, gender, or their background.
