People believed education in children was a key to security and a better social status. Although I do agree with that to some extent, I still think its more about the actual education and children. Even though things are different now from the late 1800's and early 1900's, education is the key I believe. Everything matters from how kids study and what they have to study from to their school and teachers. During the Civil War kids never got formal schooling, something I could never imagine because going to school is like my job now, and even when kids went to school, it was usually when they only had 4 years left.States started passing laws requiring kids to get 12 to 16 weeks of annual school attendance between the ages 8 and 14. Kindergarten was created outside the public school system to offer daycare for moms. Starting with 200 kids in Kindergarten in 1880 to 3,000 kids in 1900 made a popular break through. I personally think making Kindergarten available really helped out the world and mothers in this world. In 1880, only 34 percent of black children, compared to 62 percent of white children, attended elementary school. Much of what I did my presentation on, descrimination and segregation, in 1890, less than 1 percent of black teenagers attended high school because of descrimination.
