Horace Mann & Education Reform

1772-Late 18th Century School teachers were common men, like innkeepers, farmers, and surveyors with no real training. Schools were one room with 60 or more students of all different ages. Students attended only a few months around farming and work schedules. Puritans established the first public schools funded by taxes.

Horace Mann Worked on a farm as a child and had a poor education. Became a Secretary of the Mass. Board of Education. Started the Common School Movement to educate all. Developed Normal Schools (teachers training schools) to professionalize teaching. Argued that women would be a good source of teaching.

Commons Schools First public schools Taught basic literacy and arithmetic in addition to democratic citizenship. Funded by taxes and fees. Religion and social class did not matter, allowing education for all.

Normal Schools Schools that trained teachers to teach and help provide a better education. Helped ‘normalize’ or standardize teaching profession. At the turn of the 20th century, normal schools were replaced by universities and colleges.

Feminization of Education Women taught children in the home, so they were thought to be a natural fit. Women could be paid 1/3 the salary of men to teach. Women were a ready labor force that could be used to meet a growing need for teachers.

Unfinished Reform African Americans were not allowed to go to school. It was illegal to teach slaves to read and write in the south. Universities and colleges generally did not accept women. Mann saw that women and minorities were at a disadvantage in education and opened universities to educate them.
