EDUCATION IN THE USA
It was the state of Massachusetts that first introduced compel education in the USA, but by the year 1918, children in every state had to attend school. School starting age, the length of the school year and another requirements varied depending on the particular state laws governing school attendance. They were two basic reasons for the introduction of education for all at this time. The policy was publicised as a reduction of the common practice of child labour, but in addition to this was a desire by the country's leaders to ensure the transformation of children into economically productive citizens. During that time, education has increasingly come to be seen as a means of occupying children so as to prevent their involvement in crime and other social activities. To make sure this last aim
was achieved, laws were introduced to make the getting out of school unlawful.
