American Education

In today's current society it is hard to compare education to that of 18th century American colonies. In the 18th Century, American schools were predominantly religion oriented, and thus though religious morales and principles. In modern day, there is the idea of public education, private education, and religious education. Though some schools center their thoughts on Christian faiths and Jewish faiths, they are not as strictly run as the schools of the 18th Century. The schools of the 18th Century were only that of the community's religion, meaning that the things taught in school influenced the children to become better religious devotees. Also, the current system is more open minded, meaning all religions are intertwined in order to form a society in which it is impossible to stay unexposed to the ideas of other societies.
