Our Opinion
We believe the early and beginning years of public education has dframed to be what it is and changes that have made it better for the children and young adults today. When schooling was first introduced, disrimination continued to take it's toll in the community and began in the public school system against immigrants and African Americans. Regulations were made in The United States the year of 1865 allowing all children to attend school.-"The Americans" history textbook Unlike the formation days those who choose to advance onto highschool it had been an option, today its a requirement to have further education. Many students today recognize the importance of their highschool diplomas and college careers afterward.
Not to mention those who live in the rural setting hadnt recieved free deliverly of their mail until 1896. We may have still to this day have this responsibility to run to the post office to pick up our mail. Catalog advirtising and shopping is a big part in our society in the 20th century. Along with many new online careers and the spontanious results in the tasks we do; Fed Ex and the digital camera. Anywhere you look there are advertisements for matierals and new inventions on the internet and at public malls. A well-known store was founded in 1865 recognized by the name of Marshall Fields brought the department store title to the United States, which has been manipulated.
