Since the early 1600's in Boston, education has been a major influence on our American society. People have been taught the correct way to speak, write and read, and how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. Our history, including great authors, leaders, and such, is also an important part of our education. On August 25, 1987, students returned to school to carry on this tradition, but in different ways. With the modernization of schools and the improvements in technology, school facilities are much better compared to one-room schoolhouses of the 1600's. Buildings are larger and better equipped, a greater variety of courses are offered, and basically the quality of education is better. Of course, more students attend school now, and it takes more money to run them and pay the teachers, but with advancements all over the world, all of this is necessary. Education now is much easier, but in a way much more complex. Back then people weren't mandated by state laws to attend school; it depended on the money situation at home. The first consideration was the need for earning money or helping on the farm. Schools then usually only went up to the sixth grade, and there weren't a certain number of days you had to attend. The length of the school day and year were determined by the growing season and the need for the students help at home. Now, schools go through the twelfth grade and one is supposed to attend 180 days per year. Also, to graduate, one has to attend seven semesters of high school. Even though we are no longer in the one-room schoolhouse and we aren't •-..••g McGuffy Readers, we still hold onto certain values, .ducation is important and will affect our futures as it did for our ancestors. Now though, without an education, there are few opportunities to earn a good living, live a comfortable life, enhance society, or to contribute to the well-being of others.
