New England Colonies

  • Role of education was to promote literacy so people could read the Bible
  • Schools supported and supervised by various religious denominations.
  • Schools supported and supervised by mostly the Puritan denomination
  • Both passed laws that required the education of children.
  • Both understood that literacy will make society more stable
  • Instrumental in getting state laws passed that led to our contemporary public run education system
  • The Mid-Atlantic colonies contained a mixture of New England and Southern educational values. The reason for this is because it was directly in the middle of the two colonies.
  • Both wanted to better education for the majority.
  • Opposed New Englands harsh treatment towards children in the classroom
  • Made schools more responsible for educational task that were previously done in the home.
  • Education was primarily reserved for wealthy white men
  • All three started off with education tasks being done at home and eventually turned to public run education.
  • Both agreed education is the family's concern
  • Polar opposites in regards to educational practices. I did not find any commonalities between them.
  • Both emphasized similar subjects to be taught to the upper-class. E.g. classic language, science, and history.
  • Similar in that both only taught women sufficient household and social skills.

Southern Colonies

  • Believed that the states should not run education. Education should be done in the home.
  • Also, believed education is taught best in the home.
  • Role of education education was to supress non-white races.
  • Accomplished this by providing education primarly to upper-class white males and no education for other social classes and races.
