Even during their colonial time the settlers attached great importance to setting up schools for their children, because these puritans were firm believers in education. They tried hard to establish enough schools for their children. The schools were not only to teach children how to read, write and calculate but also to train clergymen. The first college, Harvard, was set up in Massachusetts in 1636. Soon after, the colonial government passed a law requiring every town of more than 40 families to have a school and school master. By the mid-eighteenth century several well-known colleges were founded, including Columbia in New York and Princeton in New Jersey. They were used to train young people. Education did not develop very fast in the South where big plantation owners did not want to build schools for the children of the poor workers and slaves. Children from rich families usually went to England for higher education. This was one the reasons why the South developed more slowly than the North. Colonial schools laid the foundation for America educational system in which all the American schools were left to the care of communities or local authority. Compulsory education has been carried out and primary and secondary education has been open to American children free of charge for many years. 6.Education in most Americans eyes is _.
