Summary

 

Our group expressed very similar views on the educational differences of the south, middle, and New England colonies. Our group discussed that the south was by far the least progressive in terms of educational practices. In the south mostly only wealthy families could afford to get their children educated and because of this literacy rates were the lowest in these colonies. The Middle was also not seem as the best, especially in literacy scores where they definetly didn’t perform as well as the New England colonies IN the New England Colonies private tutoring was a big thing, and education was seen as something that needed to start early to instill an idea of learning. It doesn’t come to a surprise that they were the most progressive in terms of education back in colonial times.
