Plessy v. Ferguson
This was a major event. It was very important to the school systems because it made it known that it was okay for them to be separate as long as they were equal. Everyone knew that they were not as nice for the African Americans, but if this major event did not happen everything could be different today. -
Cummings v. Richmond County Board of Education
This was a major event because it showed that the 14th amendment and separate but equal did not mean anything. It showed that they did not have to offer secondary education the African Americans. But if these students would not have kept pushing and finding a way to get an education no matter how poor it was, who knows how things would have progressed in the future. -
World War I and Standardized Tests
This had an extremely huge impact of schools then, and school today. Today standardized testing is such a big deal and a lot of students knowledge is based off of how they do on these standardized tests. This is also one of the main factors for students getting accepted into further education. So, these tests have a huge impact on students lives. -
Brown v. Board of Education
Brown v. The Board of Education is one of the most important events to ever happen in the United States. This changed everything, it was the big step towards helping the schools and education push forward and be together in one school. Without this event who knows how long it would have taken or what could have happened. -
No Child Left Behind
This has impacted schools and students immensely. Students who had previously struggled in a subject and just got left behind and never able to catch up were given help and able to catch up and not fall behind the rest of the class. This also made sure that all students were getting an education from only highly qualified teachers, who knew the content and had documentation for it. This had such a positive impact on schools today.
