To encourage education, Massachusetts passed a law in 1647 that required every town with 50 families or more to hire an instructor to teach their children how to read and write. Towns with 100 or more were required to build a school. Similar laws were passed to New England colonies (History Alive, U.S. History).

The law requires all children in belgium to attend school between the ages of?

Actually children don't have to go to school, they must get education between the age of 6 and 18. If parents decide to educate their children by themself or outside a school, gave to proof that the children get a good education. I think the children have to take examinations organised by the government. Usually parents bring their children to school from the age of 3.

Why did the Jews decide to raise their children in America instead of in Israel when it comes to education?

I don't know if that's REALLY true. American Jews can send their children to Israel to be educated. It also makes little sense if the family is already living in the United States to send their children overseas to get the same religious Jewish education that they can typically get in their American communities. (Most religious Jews send their children to Jewish private schools.)
