Well, if you want to dig through all this info., it's fine by me.
There are many answers to the question, "Who invented school?", but no one really knows. See, school did spread first in Greece, but no one specifically thought of it FIRST. Many have thought of school, but we do not know who EMBRACED it. For example, if the pencil wasn't invented, and you thought of this invention, SOMEONE else must have thought of it, too. so that's why most people don't bother embracing such. But no one is really sure who invented school >*!FIRST!*<. But many have invented school. Someone must have embraced it before the government. But the person/people who made it a law that kids have to go to school is the GOVERNMENT, as you may have guessed, they have ruined many other things. Some information from different sources are supplied here: (If you do not wish to dig into some info, please skip all of the paragraphs in quotation.) (the Seljuks introduced the Madrassa, a proper school built independently from the mosque. They were also the first to make the Madrassa system a public domain under the control of the caliph.
As a profession, teaching has very high levels of Work-Related Stress (WRS)[2] which are listed as amongst the highest of any profession in some countries, such as the United Kingdom. The degree of this problem is becoming increasingly recognized and support systems are being put into place.Teacher education is increasingly recognizing the need for new entrants to the profession to be aware of and trained to overcome the challenges that they will face on the 'mental health' front. Schools and their teachers have always been under pressure — for instance, pressure to cover the curriculum, to perform well in comparison to other schools, and to avoid the stigma of being "soft" or "spoiling" toward students. Forms of discipline, such as control over when students will and will not speak, and normalized behavior, such as raising one's hand to speak, are imposed in the name of greater efficiency. Practitioners of critical pedagogy point out that such disciplinary measures have no positive effect on student learning; indeed, some would argue that disciplinary practices actually detract from learning since they undermine students' individual dignity and sense of self-worth, the latter occupying a more primary role in students' hierarchy of needs.It was an Italian in 1843, by the name of Vinnie Scholars, and was named after him. 100 years ago you'd be saying "bye Mom, I'm off to scholars" but with time it gradually got changed to school. I hope this helps.School was invented in 1653 by Joseph Lariviere from France.
School was invented long ago by the Clergy
Rich folk used to send their kids to Seminary school to learn
In the US in 1660 the Clergy mandated that all kids over 8 go to school in the NE Unfortunately, we don't know which culture's school came first - many of them developed around the same time.
Past that, it's just been new takes on an old concept.
Kids attended school until either their parents needed them to get a job to help support the family, or until they (and their teachers) became frustrated enough to quit.
Then compulsory (all kids have to go) attendance started, along with the child labor laws; the law decided all kids should attend school until the age of 16, and should not be forced to work to support their families.
This law was developed based on the idea that EDUCATION IS A RIGHT! Education is an important element in being able to fully pursue happiness as adults.
It placed the individual's rights above the family's needs.
Would you rather still be in the late 1800's, working 14 hours per day in a factory without enough food to eat, just to help your parent(s) pay the rent and buy what little food they could?
Child labor laws and compulsory education protect children from hardships you can't even (obviously) imagine.
Well, I don't know exactly who invented public school, but Horace Mann lengthened the school year to about 9 months. The Equal education law pretty much is why kids have to go to school.
Thanks alot, Mr. Mann.
"Compulsory education is education which is required by the government."
Benjamin franklin invented the public school system, as for truancy or mandatory attendance this might have been established according to the individual states, and their needs. for example farming states requirements for attendance would be different then in NY.
Horace Mann created the first board of education so it's his fault mostly
For Western Civilization - meaning Europeans and Americans - Compulsory education was thought by the rulers of Prussia to be a task of the state. In 1763 Frederick II ("Frederick the Great" of Prussia) made schooling compulsory for all children between the ages of 5 and 13.
In Austria, mandatory primary education was introduced by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria in 1774.
In Britain, compulsory state supported education for kids 5 to 10 was mandated
