Brown v Board of Education danny_soto93 https://padlet.com/danny_soto93/gkuyw436lnbf/wish/351252509 This was a landmark case that was put before the Supreme Court, which ruled in 1954 that schools that were segregated were not equal.  This overturned a decision previously made by the Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson.  This was important as it became clear that the United States was moving in a more progressive, equal direction. For this reason, it earns the fourth place ranking. It also became clear the separate could not be equal by definition.  Equal means more than simply funding and tests; it also means the same treatment by everyone.  This was not the case and this decision changed that. ]]> 2019-04-12 17:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/danny_soto93/gkuyw436lnbf/wish/351252509 3. Kalamazoo Case danny_soto93 https://padlet.com/danny_soto93/gkuyw436lnbf/wish/351275784 This was a case brought before the Michigan Supreme Court, who ruled in 1874 that it was lawful for the state or school board to tax its citizens in order to create and maintain public schools.  This was a monumental case, as it brought the idea of education as a necessity and valid need for society, like maintaining roads.  Education was no longer seen as something that was unnecessary or simply for people who were going to use education in their later careers, but rather seen as an important part of an individual, no matter if they went to college or not. For that reason, it earns the third most important ranking

Old Deluder Satan Act danny_soto93 https://padlet.com/danny_soto93/gkuyw436lnbf/wish/351275863 This was one of three acts passed by the Massachusettes Bay Colony.  This act required that any group or town of people who exceeded 50 households (or families) was required to hire one person to teach and educate the children.  Furthermore it was the responsibility of the parents to pay for his or her wages.  This was very important, as it put the burden of education of the parents in an indirect way, whereas before, the parents were directly involved in their child's education, if they wanted them to have one.  This Act was passed in order to further religious education, but it also served the purpose of creating educated towns and people, and was a precursor to our education system that we hold now.  For that reason, it earns a number two ranking.

No Child Left Behind Act danny_soto93 https://padlet.com/danny_soto93/gkuyw436lnbf/wish/351275968 This was an act that was influential in re-examining and reforming American education on the elementary and secondary levels.  Up to this point in history, the United States had slowly fallen behind in terms of education and the rest of the world.  It also provided more funding to schools in poorer areas.  This is generally looked on as an Act which failed, because schools simply were passing students who did not meet the requirements to pass, but it paved the way for an improved Act (Every Student Succeeds Act), as well as opened the public education system up for criticism and improvement. For these reasons, I believe that this belongs in the top five of the most important events in education history.

Kindergarten danny_soto93 https://padlet.com/danny_soto93/gkuyw436lnbf/wish/351276071 The concept of kindergarten, or the education of children before 1st grade, was not always a popular idea.  In the United States, the first kindergarten was not established until 1856.  Kindergarten is vital, as it starts the education of a child at an earlier date, and allows children to get used to the idea of school and education, and possibly develop a love of learning. It puts children in an environment of which they are not used to, but also will have to be in for the next developing years of their lives. Since this is the first real step in education, it warrants a number one ranking.]]> 2019-04-12 18:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/danny_soto93/gkuyw436lnbf/wish/351276071 The Rest danny_soto93 https://padlet.com/danny_soto93/gkuyw436lnbf/wish/351312334 7.
