Puritan vs modern education

Education today was very different from purtian education because instead of focusing on making sure that somebody is taught the right way to live, today's education is there to let people choose the way they want to live. As opposed to forcing children upon a lifestyle they might not agree with, modren education only provides the background so that anybody can do anthing that they want (for the most part, but there are some exceptions).

o i forgot about morality. so for the most part morality is left to the parents to teach because of the seperation of church and state, but schools still involve discipline and teach a strong work ethic, which are very important morals. Overall though, schools today do not involve very much in the ways of morality.
