So as the comment towards our four fathers in our last class, the building blocks on which these men set up now in some way lead to the way our schools are constructed today. Being able to produce good and moral citizens of the Republic was the initiative of the men who put together our educational schools, with a little bit of historical knowledge wedged in their. Their first bias was to limit to who the educational systems would serve. If we can not educate ALL of our citizens how is it that the thought of a republic society in which we all serve to act right and justly can be produced. Many of this was unfortunately new to me, and that is my own academic dilemma. When we know where our education system was started and how it aids to understand how it is run in the present time. Like our country as a whole education started as a segregated and unbalanced system of how we provided knowledge for our children. If those who vote elect our representatives, have to be educated, and only those educated represent a selection of the entire nation in which we live in the country is set up to neglect most of its citizens. Although education has changed over time it is important to realize where education values and issues started off.
