Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you do. We are all learners, doers, and teachers. |

Government Schooling Comes to America: The Origins of Government Schooling in the United States |
|
Matthew Brouillette |
|
The first step in understanding the state of education today is to review how government came to be the dominant force behind schooling in the United States. From the outset of the first settlements in the New World, Americans founded and successfully maintained a decentralized network of schools through the 1850s. Then, beginning in New England, a wave of change swept across the country, which soon saw states quickly abandoning the original American model of decentralized, private education in favor of government-funded and operated schools.
