Reflection 19

U.S. eduaction I believe has truely evovled. Just the thought that we have come from dame schooling in colonial times to public high schools. It didn't happen over night but it deffinately happend.
Dames schools were the early from of a priavte elementary school. The Dame schools where uaully taught by women. Most of these women who taught at these Dame schools where illiterate. These schools the majority of the time where usually ran in the houses of the women teaching and the schooling was basically looked at as some form of primary daycare. The children where only being taught some early spelling skills and minimal math. In time a lot of the dame schools had to be shut down becuase the teaching was below government specified standards which means thatthese dames schools were being compared to the other types of schooling and the students of which were being taught by these illiterate teachers were obviuosly not performing on the correct levels.
Through the extremly long and continuous time of education, education had evolved into public high school. Public high school is a whole lot different from dame school for the simple fact thatnow in todays world any teacher must be literate and certified to teach. The government put a stop to the "blind leading the blind". Public schooling in a since is free to the students and they are evaluated to measure there knowlegde. Public high schools offers so much to students such as maths, arts, englishes, and history. Each teacher has been equipt with the knowledge in different areas to teahc these students and prepare them for higher learning.
No one can ever really look down or frown upon dame schooling because it was a start and some form of education. It may not have been as affective as other schooling but it gave us something to try to perfect. Dame schooling seems to have had a few things out of order because it did was simply looked at as a from of day care so maybe teaching wasnt a major proirity and thts why the teaching wasn't excellent. As a society yoyu always have to start somewhere and Dame school was deffinately a stepping stone for public schools.
