EDFO 420 Exam 2
Urbanization, Industrialization, and Immigration Correct Answer: Influences on the growth of public
schools
Aims of the common school Correct Answer: Free, public education for all children controlled by local
and state governments
Andrew Jackson Correct Answer: Notion of the common man began with President Andrew Jackson.
Jackson wanted to remove government from economic affairs.
Horace Mann's values Correct Answer: 1) Spoke out against harsh treatment of students; 2) The
"pedagogy of love" rather than overt authoritarianism; 3) Teacher's responsibility as moral agent; 4)
Self-discipline ultimately supports self-government.
Horace Mann's view on property Correct Answer: Property was not something to be hoarded privately;
it was created "for the benefit and subsistence of the whole race...collectively." Property owners were
at best stewards of nature's treasures, and their property could be best described as being "leased"
rather than owned.
Horace Mann's view on taxation Correct Answer: Common schools are for the benefit of all, and
therefore demanded support from all.
Mann's appeal to the wealthy Correct Answer: Children will better workers if they attend common
school over private school.
Mann's appeal to the working class Correct Answer: Prevent class divisions from hardening. Lower
classes will be able to rise up to a higher class.
The Irish Correct Answer: Catholic Religion; began setting up their own network of parochial schools.
Religion Correct Answer: Schools claimed to be nonsectarian, but were overwhelmingly Protestant,
which caused Catholics to begin their own network of parochial schools.
'Feminization of teaching' Correct Answer: Lower costs and more nurturing.
Michael Katz's critique Correct Answer: Schools were a means of social control of the lower class while
reinforcing qualities essential to factory work: respect for authority, synchronization, monotony,
specialization, and punctuality.
School funding Correct Answer: State funded through property tax. Many did not like the property tax
for education because they either did not have children or their children were grown and no longer in
school. They did not want to pay for someone else's education.
African Americans & School Access Correct Answer: Non-white students not included in Common
School plans; segregated schools.
