The reason that I think this case hold so much importance is because it sets a precedent for a more equal educational system. It started a movement for equal education and got people to start thinking more critically about education and racial inequality in education. This act affects the students that now attend schools that are desegregated "in all aspects of their adult life" because they are more likely to attend colleges and hold careers that are desegregated (327). This was a key movement in attempting to create a more equal platform for all students and setting up all to be successful in life. Though it is not necessarily progressive in today's standards and had difficulties in being implemented, it too sets a precedent.

This is second because is ensured "all children be taught to read" ( 308). This too set a precedent for an educated America. By teaching children to read, the education system was really set into movement so that everyone had a right to be educated. While the reasoning behind the act is not as thorough or concrete as it could be, the act itself set forth into motion an America where all children had a right to read and to learn.

The PEA is "a formalized attempt to reform education" so that is was student-centered(314). The seven principles set for by the PEA are very beneficial in that they set up a system in which children are free to develop and learn at their pace, where "the teacher is the guide" and "the school and home work together" to make sure that students are learning to the best of their ability. I put this third because I think that it offers a grounding for what we aim to to do now and their seven goals are goals that I still have for myself. While the content and curriculum may change, these seven core principles do not.

The court case "ruled that the school district could tax the public to support both high schools and elementary schools" (318). I think that this is important as well. It allowed for children of lower-economic households to obtain the same level of education as their wealthier peers. It is very important that all students have access to the same levels of education and should not be discriminated against based upon any factor, economic status included. While this case was only passed in Michigan, it set up a precedent for financing public schools across the nation, something that still is discussed in the present.

This case established "schools must offer students sufficient special instruction" in order to be equal (334). This was and continues to be relevant. Because America is a nation of immigrants, many students speak other languages and need help in preparing for school and learning because of a language or cultural gap. In order to sufficiently help all of the students, programs and special instruction must be taken to make sure that all students are being afforded the same level of education that fits them and their needs.
