Today we got into groups to do our presentation projecty thing.
We got chapter 6-2, the age of the railroads. pg. 236. I'm doing Railroads span time and space.
Our assigned blog was 8-2, expanding public education. pg. 282. I'm doing schools for children.
students only had to go 12-16 weeks annually
students were between 8 and 14
mainly reading, writing, aarithmetic
much criticism because of mechanical memorization and uneven qulity teachers
students didnt like it because of strict rules and physical punishment
children began kindergartens even with all the problems
became popular for employed mothers
200 in 1880 to 3000 in 1900
William Torrey Harris guided kindergartens to become part of public schools
